King John's Hunting Lodge is an early Tudor timber-framed wool merchant's house dating from around 1500, now run as a local history museum by the Axbridge and District Museum Trust.

It suits visitors interested in local heritage and historic buildings, and admission is free. The lodge sits in Axbridge, Somerset, within the Museums & Galleries category, with Worle station around 6.3 miles away and 53 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, making it an easy addition to a wider stay in the area.
