| Somerset is the gateway to England's West Country, a wonderful mix of countryside and coast - easy to get to but hard to leave! History and heritage abound. There is the ancient beauty of Wells, Englands smallest city with its stunning cathedral, Bishop's Palace and nearby working watermill. There is the mystery and magic of Glastonbury and its Abbey, the cradle of Christianity in England and the legendary land of King Arthur. There are the traditional seaside resorts of Weston-super-Mare and Burnham-on-Sea, and the dramatic North Somerset coastline. Choose from five ranges of hills - the Mendips, Quantocks, Poldens, Blackdowns, and Brendons - all with their own special character. Or the flatlands of Somerset - the Levels and Moors - ideal for cyclists and lovers of nature. Even underground, Somerset excites with the world-renowned Wookey Hole and Cheddar Caves. For shopping, there is Somersets County Town, Taunton, the world heritage city of Bath, maritime Bristol, and Clark's shopping village at Street. |
