Wedmore, our wonderful village, is the location
of the peace treaty between King Alfred and the Danes. It is a vibrant
village with something going on most evenings.
Nut Tree Farm is located in an ideal holiday area. We are well situated
for visits to Wells, the smallest City in Britain, with it's magnificent
Cathedral and Bishop's
Palace; Glastonbury is the ancient spiritual centre
of Britain, where legends abound, relating to Arthur, the giant zodiac,
visits from Jesus and Joseph of Arimathea and so much more. You may visit
the Abbey Ruins and Museum, the Tor, Chalice Well (and drink the healing
waters) and the Rural Life Museum, amongst the many places of interest.
Stanton
Drew stone circle, which is en route to Bath, is just on the north
side of the Mendip Hills. Taking the route through Cheddar
Gorge is a delight.

The
famous Clarks Village & Shoe Museum, Longleat House & Safari
Park are within easy reach. And now, of course, the recently opened amazing
Tyntesfield House, which is about a half hour drive away. The Chapel is
now open to the public and work in progress can be seen during visits.
Millfield and The
Cathedral Schools are only 20 minutes away for parents wanting
to visit their children, yet be away from the towns.
There
are many beautiful and wild places to see, including Cheddar
Gorge, Ebba Gorge,
Mendip Hills, which are all easy to reach. The
caves at Wookey
Hole and Cheddar are well worth visiting, being famous for the quality
of the caves, and for the cavers who train within.

At
the Peat Moor Visitors Centre on the famous Somerset
Levels you can see
the oldest 'roads' in Britain
and walk on replicas of these 6000 years old wooden track ways. There is
also a 'replica' of a pre-historic round house, a working forge, a pole
lathe, a museum and more.
The
moors are of special interest to bird watchers and ideal for tranquil
walks and cycle rides. Fishing is very popular
over much of the moors.
Seeing the starling flying formations at dust at one of the nature
reserves is a real must.
Weston-Super-Mare,
Brean, Berrow and Burnham-on-Sea are only 25 minutes away. Brean
Down juts out into the sea and is a
nature reserve of beauty,
with great views across to Wales on a clear day and is the site of
a ruined Napoleonic fort. It makes for a really good walk. Parking
on the beaches
is usually possible - plenty of sand dunes, and good for wind surfing
and kite flying. |
