Delights of Somerset & the West Country
Country on this relaxing and scenic getaway, based in the heart of Somerset. From historic cities and medieval villages to sweeping coastlines and artistic market towns, this tour blends heritage, character, and classic British seaside charm. We begin with a stay in Bridgwater, a historic market town ideally located for exploring the surrounding region. From our base, we venture out each day to uncover some of Somerset’s most enchanting destinations.
Holiday Highlights
Our first excursion takes us to Wells, England’s smallest city, steeped in charm and medieval architecture. Marvel at the spectacular Wells Cathedral, home to the famous 14th century astronomical clock, and explore the tranquil Bishop’s Palace with its moat and gardens. Next, we head to the ever-popular Weston-Super-Mare, a traditional seaside resort with a long sandy beach, level promenade perfect for strolling, and the nostalgic Grand Pier. Explore the lively town centre, dotted with independent shops, welcoming cafés, and sea-view bars. Midweek, we soak up the atmosphere of Frome, a creative and vibrant town best known for its thriving market scene. We visit on market day to enjoy a wide array of artisan stalls and quirky shops nestled along its cobbled streets. Later, we stop at the mystical town of Glastonbury, where legend, spirituality, and history meet. Famous for its Abbey ruins, Tor, and alternative culture. On our final day, we travel through the countryside to the beautifully preserved village of Dunster, one of the most complete medieval villages in England, nestled between the hills of Exmoor and the Somerset coast. Enjoy time to wander its ancient streets and admire Dunster Castle, set high on a wooded hill. We finish with a visit to Minehead, a classic West Country seaside town with a long sandy beach, charming old harbour, and lively town centre full of character.
