Off the Beaten Track in Somerset

Overview

Somerset is the ideal destination for getting a bit of quintessential, old-time England. All peaceful woods and streams, and gentle, rolling hills nestling sleepy villages, it’s a county where you can wind down and escape the rush of urban life.

Get off-grid in stunning examples of quirky accommodation, head out for hikes in the beautiful countryside, sample the cosy local pubs in secluded thatched-roof villages, and revel in the quietness and calmness of it all.

Whether it’s the hillsides of the Quantocks, the caves, gorges, and ubiquitous cheese in Cheddar, or the legendary allure of Glastonbury, there are unique experiences and hidden gems to be found all over Somerset.

    Best Time to Visit Somerset

    Of course, like anywhere in the UK, Somerset experiences mixed weather. The spring and autumn can be beautiful yet unpredictable, but then let’s be honest, even in the summer you might end up with a weekend of rain. When the weather is good though, Somerset is a beautiful part of the country to explore.

    Open and quiet, you’re unlikely to find accommodation too difficult to come by as well, as you head away from the tourist traps and get a little off the beaten track.

    Of course, in the height of summer there’s the world-famous Glastonbury, which attracts festival-goers from all over the globe, and autumn is the best time to head out trying Somerset’s famous cider.

    • In many cases, less than 10% of the money spent on a holiday actually ends up in the pockets of the local community. Tourism leakage is a serious problem, and it means many people are not able to reap the benefits of the tourism happening in their own back yard. We work with small, local suppliers and ensure that they receive a fair amount for every holiday we sell.

    • The climate is changing, and the travel industry is a key frontier in this battle. On the one hand, pollution from travel, erosion from over-tourism, and waste from careless travelling can make the problem much worse. But on the other hand, travel affords unique opportunities to help people connect with the natural environment in a close-up, personal way, and support locals in protecting their local environment. We are committed to offering experiences that match our sustainability criteria.

    We educate and provide guidance to travellers, hosts and agents.

    • Travel can help build a better world, but it has to be done properly. We are not just finding experiences that are better for local communities and better for the planet. We are committed to helping everyone travel better. From the moment they book with us until the moment they arrive home, we actively help our travellers with resources and guidance. This helps them travel more mindfully, and ultimately, offers a deeper, more rewarding experience.
