Bridgewater and West Somerset Railway

The Mendips are renowned for both their underground and above-ground attractions.  With its cathedral city, which holds the distinction of being the smallest city in England, miles of breathtaking countryside made up of sandy coastlines and meadows filled with wildflowers, and show caves full of stalagmites, stalactites, and rounds of cheese (yes, really). 

Known as ‘the Gateway to Exmoor’, the popular coastal resort of Minehead has drawn people from all over with its quaint, historic fishing harbour, sandy beaches and bustling town. From here,

slow the pace down on England’s longest heritage railway and let the landscape roll over you, along with nostalgia on a cloud of steam as you undertake a journey on the West Somerset Railway. 

Continue that gentle pace along the cobbled streets of Wells – a captivating city that is lined with medieval buildings and picturesque side streets – the highlight of which is the beautiful Gothic cathedral, which gives Wells its city status.
