About Somerset

A County of Contrasts

Long sweeping beaches and coastal resorts at Minehead, Burnham-on-Sea, Weston-super-Mare or Clevedon are perfect for family holidays made from sand, sea and surf.

Venture inland and you will find an epic and wild countryside, alive with colour. A National Park plus three Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty are home to a diverse range of wildlife.

The internationally important area of the Levels and Moors are a rural idyll where traditional crafts still bind the tapestry of West Country life.

Cradled in the arms of the countryside, historic towns and villages invite you to seek out their history and heritage.

There are also many hidden treasures just waiting to be discovered as you make your way across this magical county.

A county for all seasons, The Land of the Summer People is always full of surprises whenever you visit.
