Bringing beautiful countryside closer
More relaxed and rarely ever crowded, Somerset is a soothing blend of heritage, countryside and coast. With long, safe sandy beaches and gentler resorts such as Weston-super-Mare and Burnham-on-Sea, it’s an ideal escape, especially for younger families. Further west, the rugged coastline of Exmoor harbours charming coastal villages like Dunster and Porlock, and the gateway to enchanting Lorna Doone country, perfect for walks and picnics, Somerset is cider and cheese country too – you can see real cheddar cheese being made in Cheddar Gorge, explore the gorge and caves, and visit a Somerset cider producer to get a real taste of the West Country, all in one trip. Or immerse yourself in mystery and legend, where Glastonbury Tor rises from the Somerset Levels. Somerset – easy to get to, hard not to re-visit.
