About the area
Somerset, in the heart of the West Country, is a quintessential English destination that offers a diverse array of attractions to suit all tastes. This rural county is steeped in history and legend, most famously associated with King Arthur and the ancient Isle of Avalon. The town of Glastonbury is a focal point for these myths, with the evocative Glastonbury Tor rising dramatically above the Somerset Levels, offering panoramic views and a sense of timeless mystery.
For history enthusiasts, Somerset is a treasure trove. The city of Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is renowned for its stunning Georgian architecture and the remarkably preserved Roman Baths. Visitors can follow in the footsteps of Jane Austen, explore the grandeur of the Royal Crescent, and indulge in the modern spa facilities that utilize the same mineral-rich waters that have attracted people for millennia.
Somerset's countryside is a patchwork of rolling hills, such as the Mendips and Quantocks, and fertile plains. It's an ideal setting for outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, and horse riding. The Cheddar Gorge, with its dramatic cliffs and subterranean stalactite show caves, is a natural wonder not to be missed. Nearby, the Wookey Hole Caves offer family-friendly tours and a glimpse into prehistoric life.
The county is also celebrated for its culinary offerings, particularly its cider and cheese. Cheddar cheese, originating from the village of the same name, can be sampled in its birthplace, while numerous cider farms dot the landscape, many offering tours and tastings. Somerset's country pubs and farm shops provide a taste of the local produce in cozy, traditional settings.
For a more serene experience, the Somerset Levels are a haven for wildlife, especially at the wetland reserves where birdwatchers can spot a variety of species. In spring, the fields are ablaze with the colors of wildflowers, adding to the area's natural charm.
Festivals are a key part of Somerset's cultural life, with the Glastonbury Festival being one of the most famous music and arts festivals in the world. Smaller events celebrate everything from local folklore to contemporary arts, ensuring that there's always something happening.
In essence, Somerset is a destination that offers a rich blend of cultural heritage, natural beauty, and rural English charm. Whether you're seeking the mystique of ancient legends, the elegance of Georgian splendor, or the simple pleasure of a countryside ramble, Somerset is a place that promises memorable experiences for every traveler.
