Welcome to Discovery

Somerset is a county located in the southwest of England. It is a beautiful and historic county that is known for its stunning countryside, charming villages, and rich cultural heritage. There are many things to discover in Somerset, from the rolling hills of the Mendip Hills to the rugged coastline of the Bristol Channel.

One of the most popular attractions in Somerset is the city of Bath. This historic city is famous for its Roman Baths, which date back to the 1st century AD. Visitors can explore the ancient ruins and learn about the history of the Roman Empire. Bath is also home to many other historic buildings, including the Royal Crescent and the Abbey.

Another must-see destination in Somerset is Glastonbury. This small town is steeped in myth and legend, and is said to be the site of King Arthur's burial. Visitors can explore the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey, climb the Tor for stunning views of the surrounding countryside, and visit the many shops and cafes in the town center. Whether you are interested in history, culture, or natural beauty, Somerset has something to offer everyone.
