Get Active

Being a largely rural county of varying terrains makes Somerset a great place to get away and do all sorts of activities from:-

* Walking the Coleridge Way or South West Coast Path
* Horse Riding on Exmoor - the 'riding playground of England'
* Cycling challenging terrain in the Quantock or Mendip Hills
* Fishing for freshwater trout, salmon and carp
* Enjoy family routes like the Strawberry or Stop Way Lines
