Somerset is home to a wealth of beautiful sights, family-friendly attractions and recreational activities.
Just 2 miles away, Wells is the smallest city in England, famed for its cathedral and architectural heritage. A visit to the cathedral to see the 13th century sculptures on the west front, and the astronomical clock dating back to the 1390’s which features jousting knights every 15 minutes, is a must. Wells Market (Wednesday and Saturday) is renowned for the diversity of its stalls, everything from local delicacies, artisan food to jewellery and luxury gifts.
The ultimate in family fun. This is a great day out for all the family with its series of breathtaking, natural chambers carved deep inside the Mendip hills by the River Axe. Beware, keep an eye open for the famous ‘Witch of Wookey Hole’! Twenty other attractions include the Paper Mill demonstrations and the Valley of the Dinosaurs.
Glastonbury, approximately 6 miles away, is a town with its own unique atmosphere. More recently, famed for the annual Glastonbury Festival, the town is steeped in fascinating legends. It has a variety of shops specialising in alternative beliefs, books and objets d’art. Dominated by the Tor and the Abbey, Glastonbury is, in legend, the place where Joseph of Arimathea buried the Holy Grail. The Abbey with its intriguing history is also the legendary burial place of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere.
This is a “must” for all shopaholics. A village of factory outlets offering everything from fashion to food, and paintings to porcelain.
Probably Somerset’s most widely known tourist attraction and famed for the Gorge, Caves and the cheese.
