Whether it’s the high spire of Salisbury Cathedral or the deep underground caves of Wookey Hole, a holiday in Somerset and Wiltshire will have something you and your family will love to see.

Somerset and Wiltshire are ideal places to stay on a tour of Southwest England as you travel from Bristol or London to Cornwall, but there is plenty to keep you busy for weeks!

Wilthshire’s and perhaps Britain’s most famous landmark is the mysterious Stonehenge. The 5000 year old stone circle has uncertain origins but is one of the world’s most iconic visitor attractions.

Glastonbury hosts a popular music festival once a year, but the legends of King Arthur and the Holy Grail keep visitors coming all year.  The locals will tell you that Glastonbury Tor and Abbey were Somerset’s home of the Holy Grail and King Arthur hundreds of year ago.

The village of Cheddar gives its name to one of Englands most popular foods – Cheddar cheese.  Cheddar provides wonderful views of the surrounding Mendip Hills, whose gorges and caves are an impressive sight.

For a guided tour of the caves and underground rivers, visit Wookey Hole. Entertaining stories and the chance to explore deep under Southern England’s countryside will be a favourite for both children and adults.

Salisbury is Wiltshire’s largest town and is most famous for the Britain’s tallest Cathedral which dominates the skyline. The architectural masterpiece is only a small part of one of the most varied and historic rural landscapes in Southern England.
