Riverside is located in the small hamlet of Westport which is mid way between Ilminster and Langport and approximately half an hour's drive from the county town of Taunton.
It makes a perfect base for touring the delightful county of Somerset and Dorset and visiting the many places of interest in the area including: the Yeovilton's Fleet Air museum, which is home to the prototype of Concorde and Cricket St. Thomas, originally made famous by the television series "To The Manor Born", and now popular for its Wildlife Park that is nearby.
There are several National Trust Properties in the local area, famous for their architecture and gardens with Barrington Court less than two miles away. Forde Abbey and Montacute House are also nearby.
The Roman Town of Bath with its many attractions and the recently extended Clarks Village make interesting and enjoyable day trips. For wildlife lovers, Sedgemoor Lowlands and Wetlands offer a wonderful opportunity to see the many species of birds that make this rare environment their natural habitat.
The River Parrett at Langport is an ideal place for the keen fisherman or for those who just want to discover and enjoy the Parrett landscape.
Along the South Coast are a number of lovely beach resorts and places to enjoy sea fishing. The popular seaside town of Lyme Regis with it's harbour and Cobb (as seen in the film "The French Lieutenant Woman") or West Bay (where the filming of "Heart Beat" took place) are two popular places to visit.
For those who want to stay closer to home, opposite the cottage you can set off and explore the droves or wander/cycle along the canal tow paths, with cycle hire and planned routes available at Langport. Within a couple of hundred yards you will also find the "Old Barn Owl" - the local which has an excellent reputation for food and has proved to be a very popular haunt for many visitors in previous years.
