Somerset offers beautiful, unspoilt countryside and you can enjoy some of the best views of it from Windwhistle Hill, near Chard, which is the county’s highest point. Fans of Arthurian legend should make straight for the massive prehistoric earthwork at Cadbury, which is believed to be the fabled Camelot. All of the local towns Chard, Crewkerne and Yeovil boast a host of ancient buildings, many dating from medieval times.

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.
