Bridgwater and West Somerset Railway

The Mendips are equally famous for their attractions above the ground as they are for those below it.  With show caves full of stalagmites, stalactites and rounds of cheese (yes, really), cathedral city that boasts the title as the smallest city of England, and miles of stunning countryside made up of sandy coastlines and wildflower meadows. 

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.
