The county town, Taunton, has plenty to offer from individual boutiques to historic architecture, modern dining to unspoilt views across the Blackdown Hills and the Quantock Hills (both Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty). Taunton offers a wide mix of activities, attractions and events. The city is in the heart of Somerset in more ways than one; it`s bang in the middle of the county geographically, and is the area`s county town and commercial center. This is the ideal place to go to make the most of your time.
