LOCATION
The county of Somerset is located in southwest England, and is blessed with some unique cultural attractions and unspoilt stretches of countryside. Glastonbury, 35 kilometres south of the main transport hub of Bristol, is home to a historic Abbey dating back to the 7th century – regarded as one of the legendary burial-places of King Arthur – as well as Glastonbury Tor, which offers great hiking opportunities. Bath, meanwhile, is home to some wondrous Roman Baths and a striking Abbey of its own, and the Wells Cathedral is an imposing Gothic masterpiece not soon forgotten. Outdoor enthusiasts are also spoilt for choice, with the Cheddar Caves and the Wookey Hole Caves waiting to be explored, and the expansive Exmoor National Park offering an array of outdoor activities, from walking trails to horse riding, kayaking and stargazing.
