Farm Holidays in Somerset

 Collecting still warm eggs from chicken coups or watching newly born lambs take their first steps is the stuff of great childhood memories and a perfect antidote to busy, high speed lives. Farmers who choose to open their homes and businesses to staying visitors are usually only too pleased to share with them the knowledge of how our food travels from field to feast.
 
As one of the largest counties in the UK and yet with a relatively low density of population, Somerset still offers the chance to explore and discover unspoilt and undisturbed locations. Staying on a farm and with the host’s permission, it is possible to wander along seldom trodden farm tracks and really escape the bustle of everyday life. The County has a strong agricultural tradition growing rich from its wool in the Middle Ages and famous today for its cheese and cider.
 
Farm stay accommodation is offered in the form of B&B, self-catering and camping and makes an ideal base for walking and wildlife holidays.
