Ansford is a small historic village and parish in Somerset, England, lying immediately next to the market town of Castle Cary. The settlement has medieval roots and sits among rolling agricultural countryside; its stone buildings and parish church give a strong sense of local history while the close relationship with the neighbouring town means many everyday amenities are shared.
Locally the economy still reflects farming and small independent businesses, with a number of residents commuting via nearby rail and road links into larger centres. Community life is lively for a village of its size, centred on the church, village hall and regular events that tie Ansford into the cultural and social life of Castle Cary and the wider South Somerset area.
