The Heart of Somerset

Welcome to the official Heart of Somerset Tourism web site.  Located centrally between the north and south coasts the area is home to The Blackdown, Brendon and Quantock Hills, Somerset Levels and Moors and the market towns of Taunton, Wellington and Wiveliscombe, the gateway to Exmoor National Park.

Autumn and winter in Somerset are great times to visit. With stunning country walks under golden canopies and year round attractions there is plenty to see and do inside or out from quality assured accommodation, natural landscapes, attractions, arts, culture, events and great eateries for all tastes.

To help conserve our beautfiful natural landscapes why not participate in one of 7 themed 'car-free' days out http://www.visitsomerset.co.uk/site/things-to-do/days-out

Along with nearby Bristol, Dorset and Devon, Somerset is the 'Perfect Rural Retreat' for a day visit, short break or holiday.
