Things To Do

The county of Somerset in England's West Country has a wonderful mixture of countryside and coast that boasts over 250 attractions.

Somerset is the home to around 70 carnival clubs with the Bridgwater carnival being the largest illuminated procession in Europe.

Long sandy beaches and coastal resorts such as Minehead or Burnham-on-Sea contrast with the dramatic rocky Exmoor coastline. Somerset has five ranges of hills:- the Blackdowns, Mendips, Quantocks, Poldens and the Brendons - all with their own special character. The Levels and Moors are the flatlands of Somerset and ideal for the cyclist and lovers of nature.

Somerset's County Town, Taunton, is ideal for shopping and as a touring base. Nestling in the Mendip Hills is Wells, England's smallest city with its beautiful cathedral. Further south, around Yeovil, you will be delighted by the tranquil beauty of the stately houses and gardens.
