Somerset is the ideal destination for getting a bit of quintessential, old-time England. All peaceful woods and streams, and gentle, rolling hills nestling sleepy villages, it’s a county where you can wind down and escape the rush of urban life.

Get off-grid in stunning examples of quirky accommodation, head out for hikes in the beautiful countryside, sample the cosy local pubs in secluded thatched-roof villages, and revel in the quietness and calmness of it all.

Whether it’s the hillsides of the Quantocks, the caves, gorges, and ubiquitous cheese in Cheddar, or the legendary allure of Glastonbury, there are unique experiences and hidden gems to be found all over Somerset.
