Blossom Orchard

Get into historian mode or hiking mode for Glastonbury (25 minutes’ drive). While it may be known as a huge music festival destination, the town also has an ancient abbey, where King Arthur is buried. Glastonbury Tor has links to King Arthur too and it’s a historical hike indeed, based on top of a hill over the Somerset Levels. Taunton (35 minutes) is thoroughly historic too. Take a look around the Norman castle, then loop back to Yeovil (25 minutes) for entertainment like a country park and theatre. Any guests hoping to catch a glimpse of a few rare feathers will be pleased to find that there are several RSPB nature reserves within driving distance of the site too. Yes, you’ll need your binoculars at the ready for RSPB Greylake (10 minutes) and RSPB Ham Wall (20 minutes). If you’re quite hungry for outdoor activities, just look towards the Quantock Hills (45 minutes). With farmlands, little villages and woods, it’s a scenic hiking or cycling destination.
