Midsomer Norton is one of the best-preserved coal mining towns in England: home to iconic nursery rhymes and inspiration for the name of long-running television series Midsomer Murders thanks to its quintessentially British moniker. Midsomer Norton has existed since the Iron Age, but the settlement boomed in the 1700s when the town’s coal mine opened - and you’ll see traces of its industrial past even today.

A glorious mix of tumbling moors and old market towns, sleepy Somerset is rural England at its best. Beautiful Bath has inspired many literary residents and welcomed many renowned visitors drawn here by the medicinal hot springs. From our hotel, we delve into Somerset’s glorious heritage, with a day in Bath itself, and excursions to Glastonbury and the tiny, charming city of Wells.

Day 1: Following your home taxi collection we head to Somerset and our hotel for the next 4 nights, The Best western Centurion Plus in Midsomer Norton on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis

Day 2: This morning we head for the beautiful Mendip Hills, and our first stop today is Cheddar, famous for its limestone gorge.  Cheddar is home to the country’s highest inland cliffs and one of Britain’s most famous landmarks, as well as a certain world famous produce! We later continue to another of Somersets famous attractions, Wookey Hole, which boasts some of the most spectacular underground sights in Europe. Here we include a guided tour of the Caves before heading back to our hotel.

Day 3: Today we spend the day in Bath. Already a spa resort in Roman times, Bath became the height of fashion during the eighteenth century. The Pump Room is well worth a visit, and there are several museums, including the world’s largest costume museum and the fine medieval abbey. Upon our arrival, we included a guided tour around the city onboard the coach.

Day 4: This morning we pay a visit to Glastonbury, the birthplace of English Christianity and the supposed burial place of King Arthur. We then head to medieval Wells, It is compact, with cobbled streets, medieval architecture and a market square, yet is actually a city – the smallest in England to be precise! Given this accolade by the commanding presence of Wells Cathedral, it is situated in the heart of Somerset, with its name deriving from the three wells within The Bishop’s Palace. After lunch we then head back to our hotel for some free time in Midsomer Norton.

Day 5: Sadly we bid farewell to our hotel and begin our journey back to Norfolk, where our door to door service will be waiting to return us to our homes.
