The Roman city of Bath with its many attractions and the Clarks Village Shopping Outlet in the village of Street, both 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.

A visit to Dorset and East Devon's Jurassic coast, one of England's first Natural World Heritage sites, is a must with fossil hunting popular with both children and adults.
