About Somerset

Somerset is a largely green county, characterised by a mix of rolling hills and the low-lying Somerset Levels, while much of Exmoor National Park also lies within the county. With little industry to speak of, Somerset’s economy has traditionally relied on tourism and agriculture. Many jobs in Somerset are linked to leisure and services, such as visitor attractions, accommodation, restaurants, cafés and bars. It has two historic cities – Bath and Wells – both are major visitor and cultural centres. Wells is also known as the smallest city in England, with 12,000 people. Somerset’s county town is Taunton. The county has a coastline to its north, with the South West Coast Path and popular resorts at Weston-super-Mare, Burnham-on-Sea and Minehead. Landmarks include Cheddar Gorge & Caves and Glastonbury Tor – and Glastonbury is, of course, home of Glastonbury Festival. The county is famed for its dairy produce, especially Cheddar Cheese, and isn’t known as ‘The Cider County’ for nothing. Somerset has several major cider producers, including Thatcher’s, whose orchards are at Myrtle Farm in the foot of the Mendip Hills. Other attractions in Somerset include the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm Museum at RNAS Yeovilton in Ilchester. In sport, Somerset County Cricket Club play in Taunton, and Yeovil Town are the top football team.
