Somerset mixes gorge, moor and flat wetland. You can climb Dunkery Beacon on Exmoor from Horner Wood, walk along the top of Cheddar Gorge to Pavey's Lookout, or explore Ebbor Gorge above Wookey Hole. The Quantock Hills give open ridge walking, the Somerset Levels are good for flat riding between Glastonbury and Street, and the Strawberry Line carries cyclists from Yatton to Cheddar.

Stories cover Glastonbury Tor and Wells Cathedral, King Alfred at Burrow Mump, Brean Down Fort, Dunster Castle, Sham Castle above Bath and the old lake village at Meare.
