Somerset Travel Guide

Glastonbury Tor - © Sarah Saunders

Best known for its cider – the real stuff - and Cheddar cheese, Somerset is often overlooked in the dash south. But this is the land of King Arthur with mystical New Age Glastonbury at its centre. The Tor, ancient Avalon, commands the landscape for miles around and Chalice Well is still sacred while the site of Arthur’s Camelot is reputed to be at Cadbury. The wild expanse of Exmoor, the Quantocks and Mendips, with dramatic Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole, present some beautiful unspoilt countryside to explore.

Celebrate - The National Poet of Scotland

Robert Burns

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.

The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.

His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
