Things to Do in Somerset

Effortlessly fusing country and city life, there’s far more to Bath than its thriving student population. Built entirely for pleasure and relaxation, the city’s namesake attraction of the Roman Baths has helped maintain its top spot on the list of holidaymakers for many years.

A bustling and beautiful coastal town located in Somerset, Minehead lies on the south bank of the Bristol Channel and has had evidence of settlement in the area since the Bronze and Iron Ages.

With a history spanning over one thousand years and a current population of over 70,000, Somerset's county town, Taunton, is one of England's most underrated gems.

When most people hear the name Glastonbury they think of the music festival, but that does this Somerset town a great injustice.

From the creation of its very first hotel, in 1808, Weston-super-Mare has been one of Somerset’s most popular tourist destinations.

Yeovil or “town on the river” is a Somerset town with a long and varied history. First mentioned in a Saxon charter back in 880 (although the town was known as Gifle at the time), it’s set on an old Roman road and takes its name from the River Yeo, which runs through it. Through time, Yeo Village became Yeovil and so the unusually-named town we know today was born.
