Taunton sits at the heart of Somerset, a county town with roots stretching back to Saxon times when it grew up around a riverside castle. Today its streets mix that long history with an easy pace of modern life, seen best over a slow morning among the cafes or a relaxed evening trying the local restaurants. Visitors staying longer will find a good range of hotels to suit the town's unhurried, welcoming character.
