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.
