Living in Somerset
Somerset is a county that defies easy summary — and that’s precisely its charm. It’s rolling hills and hidden valleys, seaside towns and cathedral cities, cider orchards and cutting-edge creativity.

🌿 Unspoilt Natural Beauty
From the Quantock Hills to the Mendips, Exmoor to the Somerset Levels, the landscape here is varied and spectacular. You can be in a dense woodland one hour, on a wild moor the next — and back home in time for a pint by the fire.
🏖 Coast & Country
Somerset's coast is quietly stunning — think Kilve, Porlock Weir, and Burnham-on-Sea — while inland you’ll find deep-green farmland, picturesque rivers, and villages that look unchanged since the 17th century.
🏡 Calm, Characterful Living
- A perfect blend of market town buzz and village tranquillity
- Historic centres like Wells, Frome, and Bruton brimming with personality
- Low crime, friendly communities, and a sense of space that’s getting harder to find elsewhere
🍏 Food, Drink & Rural Riches
Somerset is cider country, of course — but it’s also home to award-winning cheeses, artisan producers, and a fast-growing foodie scene. Farmers' markets, food festivals, and gastropubs abound, especially in towns like Frome and Langport.
👨👩👧👦 Family Friendly & Future Ready
- A mix of high-performing schools (both state and independent)
- Family homes with gardens, space, and a slower pace
- Attractive for young families, remote workers, and retirees alike
🚗 Well Connected, Surprisingly Accessible
Despite its rural feel, Somerset is anything but cut off:
- Trains to London, Bristol, Exeter, and beyond from hubs like Taunton, Castle Cary, and Bath
- Major roads including the A303, M5, and A37 keep the county connected
- Bristol Airport is within easy reach for those heading further afield
🎭 History, Culture & Quiet Cool
Somerset does tradition brilliantly — think Glastonbury Abbey, Wells Cathedral, and Bath’s Georgian splendour — but it also has a modern creative streak. Frome and Bruton are magnets for artists, designers, and food entrepreneurs, blending heritage with hip.
Somerset offers room to breathe — and reasons to stay. For those looking to escape the noise without losing their edge, it's an ideal middle ground between town and country, heritage and progress.
