The Jewel of the South West
Somerset is just two hours from London
and full of West Country charm. Summer breaks in this beautiful
county are something special and the ideal choice if you’re
looking to recharge the batteries or have a memorable family holiday.
Much of Somerset’s wonderful landscape has remained unchanged
for generations - come and sample the five ranges of hills, Exmoor
National Park, the Somerset Levels and Moors or over 40 miles of
varied coastline.
Places to Go
Steeped in history and legend, Glastonbury
with its mysterious Tor and Abbey (alleged burial place of King
Arthur and his warrior queen, Gwynevere) should not be missed.
Wells, the smallest city in England with its magnificent medieveal
cathedral is full of charm and the nearby Caves at Wookey Hole
provide a great family day out. Home of cheddar cheese, Cheddar
Gorge and caves are well worth a visit and why not visit one of
the many cider farms for a real taste of Somerset? The coastal
resorts of Weston-super-Mare, Burnham-on-Sea or Minehead are full
of family fun whilst the many historic houses and gardens throughout
the county are perfect for those wanting to experience a real piece
of English history. There are over 160 attractions in Somerset
to suit all tastes and pockets so you’ll never be stuck for
things to see and do!
