Visiting Taunton
Steeped with over 1000 years of history, Taunton is a quintessential English town of your dreams. From the 12th-century Anglo-Saxon castle to the 19th-century shops of Bath Place, the town’s heritage is rich and quite simply stunning. Situated in the heart of sunny Somerset, Taunton is the perfect place from which to explore the Southwest of England. Castles, cathedrals, and country estates crown the land, much of which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Meanwhile, the nearby coast awaits with sandy beaches, arcades, fish and chip shops, and everything else you’d expect to find at an English seaside.
