The route passes through charming villages and offers a unique glimpse of Somerset’s rural beauty. Nature lovers can explore the nearby Quantock Hills or venture slightly further to Exmoor National Park for dramatic moorland views, woodland walks, and coastal hikes. Somerset’s stunning coastline is within easy reach, from fossil hunting at Kilve to traditional beach days at Blue Anchor, Minehead, and Weston-super-Mare.
For those interested in history and legends, Glastonbury is a must-visit with its iconic Tor, mystical Abbey ruins, and unique spiritual atmosphere. Cheddar Gorge offers awe-inspiring cliffs, show caves, and of course, the birthplace of cheddar cheese. Wookey Hole is another family favourite, with its magical caves, paper mill, and family attractions. Somerset is rich in history too; visit Dunster Castle, Wells Cathedral, or take a trip to Bath for Roman baths and Georgian architecture. Foodies will love the abundance of local produce, farmers’ markets, cider makers, and cheese producers scattered throughout the region.
