We always recommend a trip to nearby Wells ( 26 mins by car!) as it’s so pretty! It’s famous for being the UK’s tiniest city ( boasting it’s very own Cathedral)! Take a beautiful walk around the moat - observing the swans or the gents playing croquet on the lawns…& enjoy lunch/ coffee/ an evening drink in the pretty little central square - it feels like you’re in France! A fun selection of boutique shops, small museums for a taste of local history- a short drive from the AirBNB, & the famous Wookey Hole Caves- perfect to while away a morning or afternoon here…
