History

Unravel Somerset's fascinating heritage

Wherever you venture in Somerset you will not be far from a little piece of the area's past.

For instance the heritage touring map features over 100 sites of historical interest from iron-age hill forts, medieaval towns and villages to museums, castles and National Trust houses and gardens.

Historic places such as Wells with its magnificent Cathedral, Dunster, Nunney and Farleigh Hungerford castles plus market towns like Frome and Crewkerne, all have their own special stories to tell.

Great days out await you at historic attractions too such as Montacute House and Fleet Air Arm Museum. Then there are the legends of the Witch of Wookey and King Arthur’s Holy Grail.
