Somerset – Historic Landmarks and Rolling Fields

Theres loads to see in Somerset, from the iconic Glastonbury Tor and the dramatic cliffs of Cheddar Gorge to leisurely walks through rolling countryside. It’s also where i’m from, so I know it pretty well! Don’t forget to sample some of the region’s famous scrumpy cider and cheese along the way – it’s all part of the charm.

Here you’ll find guides on the best walks, historic sites, local food and drink, places to stay and tips for making the most of your Somerset adventures.
