About Beacon
Beacon is a rural Somerset neighbourhood where community spirit runs strong, crime is low, and the air is clean. You'll need a car though — most shops, GPs and public transport are outside the neighbourhood boundary. House prices are higher than in surrounding neighbourhoods, particularly for detached homes. Schools here include two Good-rated primaries and the independent Clayesmore School. About 40% of residents work from home, which reflects how rural and self-sufficient the area is. Transport costs stay below the national average even though bus and rail links nearby are limited.
