A county for all seasons, Somerset is home to thriving market towns such as Glastonbury, home to the eponymous and famously muddy festival. Stay on one of the UK Parks holiday parks in Somerset and visit the popular landmarks such as the famous Cheddar Gorge and Minehead, nestled on the edge of Exmoor National Park. For those that like to shop, Clarks Village could be the place to find a bargain.
Cheddar Gorge is an iconic natural landmark, classed as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Site of Specific Scientific Interest. The gorge itself reveals evidence of dinosaurs and prehistoric times, whilst the site itself also has rock climbing and adventure caving.
Wookey Hole Caves is a magical day out for the family. As well as caves to explore, kids will love to play on the amusements, walk with dinosaurs and come face to face with an enormous King Kong. Perhaps you’ll even get a glimpse of the legendary witch?
With so much gorgeous countryside, Somerset is brimming with opportunities for a slower paced getaway. The Quantock Hills combine exposed heathland, wooded combes, rich farmland and craggy Jurassic coastline. Exmoor National Park is unmissable. Try stargazing at this International Dark Sky Reserve, or meander through Dunster, a quaint chocolate box village and castle dating back to Medieval times.
Forde Abbey is a gem in the county’s crown. The Abbey’s history spans 900 years from monks to movies – the interior is featured in a Hollywood adaptation of ‘Far from the Madding Crowd’.
Get your toes sandy at the many beaches hugging the county. Seaside resort Weston-Super-Mare has a long sandy beach, donkey rides and incredible amusements on the pier. Burnham-on-Sea includes the UK’s shortest pier, over 13 miles of coastal paths and the rocky outcrop of Brean Down, a National Trust site with a café, visitor centre and bird garden.
Minehead is a stunning destination and packed with activities for all ages. As well as the beach, you’ll also find a historic 14th Century church, tea rooms and Blenheim Gardens that are filled with flowers.
