Somerset

Countryside, Culture, Coast...

Somerset is alive with history and legend! The Mendip Hills are just a short journey from Bristol and Bath and are an intriguing mixture of hills, historic towns and ancient sites. Somerset inspired Coleridge and Wordsworth and Exmoor was home to Lorna Doone. Welcome to Cheddar Cheese and cider country - just two hours from London.

Highlights: -

Wells - It is England's smallest city with a majestic cathedral, medieval streets and cobbled market place.
Glastonbury - Glastonbury Tor gave refuge to the ancient Britons and at Glastonbury Abbey, the monks claimed to unearth the bones of King Arthur
Taunton - the county town of Somerset, a busy and attractive market town, great for Shopoholics! A great base for touring this wonderful and diverse county.
