THINGS TO DO
Days Out That Don't Cost A Fortune...
Clarks Village
Right on our doorstep, Clarks Village is an outlet shopping centre with nearly 100 designer and high street brands, restaurants and food outlets. Great for some rainy day retail therapy, grab yourself a bargain!
Glastonbury
Just a mile down the road, Glastonbury is the seat of Christianity in the UK and reputed to be the Ancient Isle of Avalon from Arthurian legend. The High Street offers an eclectic mix of esoteric shops and eating outlets.
Wells
Wells is approx. 8 miles away and is the smallest individual city in England. Home to a stunning cathedral, historic buildings and weekly market, picturesque Wells is the perfect base to explore The Mendips.
Bath
Built for pleasure and relaxation, beautiful Bath has been a wellbeing destination since Roman times. The waters are still a big draw, both at the ancient Roman Baths and the thoroughly modern Thermae Bath Spa, housing the only natural thermal hot springs in Britain you can bathe in.
Bristol
If ever there was a city with a story to tell, it’s Bristol. Enveloped in the hills of South West England, it has its own unmistakable identity, carved out by passionate locals and spirited fans. Home to "We The Curious" visitor attraction and Brunel's SS Great Britain, Bristol is a great family day out.
Durdle Door & Lulworth Cove
Part of the stunning Jurassic Coast, Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove are adjacent to each other approx. 50 miles away. Although a bit of a drive, this stunning coastline is well worth a visit. When we head to the beach we always go south towards Lulworth, Lyme Regis, Weymouth, West Bay and Charmouth.
Days Out That Cost A Bit More But Are Worth It!
Longleat Safari Park
Featured in the BBC series Animal Park, Longleat is home to all manner of exotic animals. The drive-through safari gets you "up close and personal" with lions, tigers, wolves and the cheeky Macaque monkeys, whilst the rest of the park ensures a fun filled day out, whatever the weather.
Wookey Hole Caves
Wookey Hole is probably the premier show caves in the UK. Along with the stunning cave system, the park offers over 20 attractions in the day ticket price. These include animatronic dinosaurs, pirate golf, mystic fairy garden, penny arcade and paper mill.
West Somerset Railway
The West Somerset Railway is the longest heritage steam railway in the UK. It runs from Bishop's Lydeard just outside Taunton to Minehead. The railway passes through the Quantock Hills, a designated area of outstanding natural beauty, before following the coastline around Exmoor.
