Farther afield, you’ll find a varied mixture of heritage, countryside and the coast. Towards the South East, about 20 miles from Weston-super-Mare, is Wells – England’s smallest city with a beautiful cathedral. The county is full of small villages built from the local honey-coloured stone.

Somerset is famous for its cider and cheese. Why not take time out to sample both by seeing how real Cheddar cheese is made and sampling some traditional West Country cider at one of the great local pubs.
