Somerset, in the south west of England is enveloped by Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Dorset and Devon and water in the form of the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel with its huge tidal swing. The landscape of Somerset is varied, ranging from the wetlands and estuaries, to rolling hills across the wilderness of Exmoor, plunging cliffs and a network of caves and caverns in places like Cheddar Gorge. Pretty villages and places to eat or drink abound across the largely rural landscape. Popular coastal resorts include Minehead, Weston-super-mare, Brean and Burnham-on-sea.
