Somerset

There’s a lot more to Somerset than scrumpy cider, cheddar cheese and the Glastonbury Festival. It’s a county of contrasts: moorlands and marshes, castle and caverns, cheese and strawberries, gorges and tors. With a variety of landscapes, extraordinary buildings, fascinating wildlife, and history round every corner – not to mention some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet – Somerset is simply asking to be explored. This selection of 40 circular walks will help you make the most of the uplands and lowlands, woodlands and wetlands of Somerset – ‘the land of the summer people.’
