Taunton District is located in the west corner of the County of Somerset on the border with the County of Devon. It is a beautiful county of contrast! In Somerset you will find a wonderful mixture of countryside and coast. Long sandy beaches and coastal resorts such as Minehead or Weston-Super-Mere contrasts with the dramatic rocky Exmoor coastline.

Somerset has four ranges of hills:- the Blackdowns, Mendips, Quantocks and the Brendons - all with their own special character. The Levels and Moors are the flatlands of Somerset and ideal for the cyclist and lovers of nature.

Taunton is Somerset’s County Town, ideal for shopping and a touring base. Nestling in the Mendip Hills is Wells, England’s smallest city with its beautiful cathedral. Further south, around Yeovil, you will be delighted by the tranquil beauty of the stately houses and gardens.

This is a largely undiscovered corner of England’s West Country which is easy to get to but hard to leave!
