City Information
Taunton
Taunton is the county town of Somerset, in the south of England. Its 1,000-year history gives it a diverse mix of the old and the new and guarantees that there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
Take a walk through the newly-pedestrianised streets and take in the vastly diverse architecture that only an ancient town can offer, with the Perpendicular Gothic churches and many Georgian townhouses. Then, visit Taunton Castle for the Museum of Somerset and immerse yourself in the exciting history of the county.
If 21st-century pubs no longer excite you, head to the Tudor Tavern and take in the 16th-century exterior, with the interior said to date back to as early as the 14th century. Although not a tavern anymore, this bygone building is now a cafe, where visitors can sit back, relax, and enjoy the humbling feeling inspired by buildings that have stood the test of time.
