Welcome to Somerset

If you asked someone to imagine the ideal English county, there’s a good chance that what they would come up with would look something like Somerset. However, the imagination can’t do justice to this stunning piece of south west magic.

The scenic Quantock Hills with its rocky coastline, the limestone hills which are perfect for exploration, the smoky East Somerset Railway, the millennium-long history of Dunster Castle, the caves which stretch back 60,000 years, and the remains of the legendary Glastonbury Abbey. These are just a few examples of the type of unforgettable experiences available to those who decide to set foot in Somerset’s borders.

There’s so many in fact, that it would probably take a lifetime to experience them all. Even then, you might just fall short. It’s no wonder that so many people spend their lives soaking in everything the area and its surroundings has to offer.

Of course, a big part of the reason there’s so much to see, do and experience in Somerset is that as a county, it is far more than a single place. This is an area made up of many unique parts, all coming together to create a whole that is as astonishing in its variety as it is in its beauty. And the examples we’ve mentioned are only some of the attractions that make it into tourist guides. That’s because Somerset is a community with just as many memories being made in its high streets, parks and cafes.

We can’t mention Somerset without talking about the incredible cultural impact the area has had in the past and continues to have as it offers inspiration for the future. This is the home of Wordsworth, traditional English music and dance, and remains at the forefront of the artistic world, thanks to Glastonbury festival, Bath Literature Festival and the West Country Carnivals, to give but a few examples.

Somerset creates incredible moments for those who visit. Just imagine how many it can make for those who are lucky enough to call it home.
