Activities/Attractions: The County of Somerset is located in the South-West of England and boasts some beautiful market towns and villages. Taunton, the county town offers both beautiful countryside and excellent shopping and leisure facilities and is known to hold one of the largest cattle markets in the country.

The small yet thriving market town of Glastonbury, famous for its annual pop festival - 'Glastonbury Festival' has a wide range of facilities and attractions including the remains of one of the greatest Abbeys in England - Glastonbury Abbey - set in 37 acres of beautiful parkland. The very unique 'Cheddar gorge', Britain's largest gorge, is steeped in fascinating historical and archeological facts such as the discovery of a 9000 year old skeleton, Britain's oldest complete skeleton.

Minehead, Somerset's largest seaside resort is set on the edge of Exmoor National Park and is a perfect place to visit for traditional seaside family fun. Somerset is also home to the smallest city in England - Wells, which has one of the most beautiful cathedrals in England.

Shepton Mallet is a delightful mixture of old and new; a combination of ancient market town and modern indus­trial community, nestling in a fold towards the western edge of the Mendip Hills.

With a population of some 8,000 residents Shepton Mallet is an ideal centre from which to visit the region's many and varied tourist attractions. Notable among the town's many features of interest is the Parish Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, the architectural history of the building is a challenging puzzle to those interested in the development of churches.
