Escape to welcoming Wellington
A small and friendly market town in rural Somerset, Wellington is the perfect place to get away from it all. It's nestled in a wide valley between the Brendon and Blackdown hills, and is surrounded on all sides by stunning countryside. It also has a wide range of independent shops, as well as a museum and a 1930s-style cinema.
Get a breath of fresh air
This part of Somerset is ideal for walking or cycling - the views are simply stunning, and nature lovers will appreciate the wide range of flora and fauna in the area. And if you work up a thirst, plenty of local farms are keen to show off their cider - with Sheppy's Cider Farm particularly worth a visit.
Take a trip to Taunton
Somerset's county town is just 7 miles away from Wellington, and has much to offer - especially for history buffs, who will find over 1,000 years of relatively well-documented history of the area. There's also the 10th century monastery and Taunton Castle. Shopping in the town is excellent, too.
