Somerset View Caravan Park

You can use Somerset View as a stopover on your merry way to or from Cornwall, but as it's handily set for getting around Somerset and north Devon, it's a convenient base at which to stay put for a spell. The Quantock Hills to the west of Somerset View's local town of Bridgwater were the first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England: as you'd expect, scenic hikes, hacks and bike rides aplenty are around here, for views towards local landmarks like Glastonbury Tor, the Mendips, Exmoor and as far as the Gower Peninsula to the north. The Somerset coast at Burnham-On-Sea is 14 miles away, with neighbouring seaside spot Weston-super-Mare a bit further along the coast. Going in the other direction, the Devon end of the spectacular Jurassic Coast is reachable within about 35 miles. Inland, famed Somerset and south-west highlights easily doable for day trips include Glastonbury Abbey and Glastonbury Tor, about 20 miles away; Cheddar Gorge and its caves, within 22, and the witchy caves of Wooky Hole, also 22 miles from base. Another top option is county town Taunton about five miles away: if you want yet more Somerset hiking, it's surrounded by the Blackdown Hills as well as the Quantocks, and has the Bredon Hills to the south-west, all the way to Exmoor National Park.
