Somerset

40 Town & Country Walks

John & Annie Fergusson

There's a lot more to Somerset than scrumpy cider, cheddar cheese and the Glastonbury Festival. It's a county of contrasts: moorlands and marshes, castle and caverns, cheese and strawberries, gorges and tors.

With a variety of landscapes, extraordinary buildings, fascinating wildlife, and history round every corner - not to mention some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet - Somerset is simply asking to be explored.

This selection of 40 circular walks will help you make the most of the uplands and lowlands, woodlands and wetlands of Somerset - 'the land of the summer people'.
