Cathy's Say

For visitors to Somerset cottages like this make an ideal base from which to explore the county. It is situated in the wide valley of the River Tone between the Brendon and Blackdown Hills, close to the small market town of Wellington which gave its name to the famous victor of the Battle of Waterloo. The 175ft column built on the edge of the Blackdown Hills, just outside the town, was erected in his honour. At night it is illuminated and is a landmark for miles around. The monument can be climbed and offers a superb view across the Somerset countryside. Wellington has recently become a 'Food Town' and hosts various events and initiatives to celebrate the best in local food and drink. The monthly farmer's market is heaven for foodies; fantastic local cheeses, meat from nearby farms and real cider give you a great taste of Somerset.
