Link to image attributionLocated on the eastern foothills of the Quantocks, North Petherton is a small town in the county of Somerset. Before becoming a town, North Petherton was known for being the largest village in England. Despite its small stature, the town has been a significant settlement throughout English history since the Saxon era.
The Bridgewater and Taunton Canal runs through the small town, offering tranquil walks along the towpath and opportunities to see much of the local wildlife. This path also features part of the Somerset Space Walk: a route with sculptures of the planets displayed in proportion to their size and distance from each other. Find the sun at Maunsel Lock Canal Centre, where there is also information on the canal's several locks, as well as a tea shop and boat launch.
North Petherton is most easily reached via car, with it being located just off the M5 motorway.

Although Oxford is probably best known for its world-class university and the famous Bodleian library, there is much more to the city than just academia. On a sunny day, take a punt down the River Cherwell at the Cherwell Boathouse, but make sure to book in advance if you'd like a chauffeur.
If the weather is less favorable, visit the famous Oxford Covered Market, where you can wander through over 55 shops in the 18th-century building. Oxford is also home to several museums, including the famous Ashmolean Museum that has been around since 1683. The Ashmolean mainly showcases art and archaeology; however, if that's not your style, alternatives include the Museum of Natural History or the Museum of History and Science.
If you'd prefer to experience history first-hand, visit Oxford Castle, a building that has been in existence for over 1,000 years. Guided tours are available where you can hear stories of the castle's inhabitants and its fascinating history.
National Express and Megabus provide access to Oxford from London and other cities, while frequent train service is also available.
