Welcome to Somerset!

Somerset really is the county with everything. It may be the seventh-biggest county in the UK, but its relatively small population means that there’s loads of space to explore and enjoy for visitors. This is a county of contrasts. There are miles of beautiful, fascinating coastline, moors, levels, beaches and caves, stunning Exmoor, nature in abundance, quintessential English countryside and, of course, the historic city of Bath. Add to that an impressive and captivating history, and ancient castles and scenery which inspired the English poets Wordsworth and Coleridge to make Somerset their home. But it’s not all ancient history and landscapes. There’s ultra-modern shopping, eating out, arts and culture, bags of sporting activities, and some of the best hotels you’ll find in England.
