If you love rambling through vast green spaces, climbing hills for stunning views or enjoying the fresh sea air, then Somerset is the place for you. One of the most popular destinations for visitors looking to get away from it all, Exmoor National Park is a unique and sprawling green haven made up of woodland, moorland, valleys and farmland, dotted with picturesque villages, towns and hamlets. More than 37 miles of coastland borders the Western side, making a home for a spectrum of flora and fauna. Cheddar Gorge is also a notable destination, created over millions of years with caves, cliffs and incredible prehistoric beauty.

As well as all of the natural splendour, Somerset is also home to a number of amazing towns and cities, a key area is the town of Bruton which has become an unexpectedly glamorous area being home to a whole host of celebrities. Somerset’s second city, Wells also has its own Roman roots which have resulted in similar architecture and grandeur. Cities aside, Somerset is also home to dozens of charming market towns, villages and hamlets which offer everything you would expect from rural destinations, with local food, pubs and small-town charm.

Making a residency in all of this nature is a wonderful array of wildlife – some of the best in Britain.
