The cottage is only a 5 minute walk from Wedmore which has a good selection of shops from those selling local produce to gift and antique shops. Should you be looking for somewhere to eat out there is a delicatessen, number of tea rooms, three pubs and a restaurant, so plenty of places to try during your stay.
The Mendip Hills which are an area of outstanding natural beauty are close by so ideal for those that enjoy walking, cycling or riding. The Somerset Levels is also nearby and is well known for its National Nature Reserves which attract bird watchers from far and wide.
Should you want a bit of culture and history, the City of Wells is a short drive and its magnificent cathedral and Bishops Palace are worth a visit as are Glastonbury Tor and Abbey and Cheddar Gorge. The larger cities of Bristol and the beautiful Georgian city of Bath are less than an hour’s drive away.
Equally the seaside resort of Weston-super-Mare with its sandy beaches is not far. There are many historic houses and gardens such as Longleat with its safari park and the National Trust’s Montacute House and Stourhead Gardens which are all worthy of a visit. Should you find the time after all that, golf, shooting and fishing are also available within 2 miles of Ian’s Cottage. Fans of the horse racing will find it easy to get to Wincanton, Taunton and Chepsto
