This is more of a gastro pub, would recommend booking a table in order to avoid disappointment.
This pub is about a 10-15 minute walk through the village. You can walk past the church directly opposite until you arrive at the Mead, children's play area and the Seymour is over the road from the play park.

This is a great pub with a lovely circular walk from Blagdon to Rockford, so why not stop half way and grab some food and drink.

Sightseeing
The City of Wells is beautiful and The Bishops Palace is stunning. You have to pay for entrance to go around the grounds but if you like your history and are keen gardeners then it's worth the price. Alternatively you access the cafe for free.
