If you are a fan of visiting historic sites in the tourist destinations you travel to, Taunton is sure to find one that might interest you.

Now if you're searching for a place to breathe in the fresh air and enjoy the natural scenery, Taunton has a number of places to go. One of them is the French Weir Park, a beautiful communal area of approximately 2.4 hectares, which has a style much closer to the English countryside than an overly organised park. You'll find woods of leafy trees, large expanses of green lawns, as well as a large lagoon for water sports like kayaking. It's especially popular with families who come for picnics, but it's also quite busy when fairs or festivals are held within the park.

This fabulous castle was built as a defence mechanism for the town of Taunton in Anglo-Saxon times, then owned by the Bishops of Winchester. Over the course of history, it grew into the structure it is today, as it underwent modifications at the hands of its various owners. Today it is located in the heart of the town, and has a great historical importance due to its antiquity and history, so it is a site that you must visit.

Also within Taunton Castle you will find the famous Museum of Somerset, which gives it an even more authentic atmosphere once you visit.

This park is a favourite with visitors and locals alike due to its great beauty and tranquil atmosphere. Located very close to the city centre, here you will find approximately 7.5 hectares of land, which was once part of the grounds of the nearby castle. Its name comes from the fact that it used to be a vivarium, and although today there are no traces left of the lakes that were once housed here, you can still appreciate the great greenery and lively vegetation that adorns this park.

There is no better way to get to know a holiday destination than by visiting such local markets. Here you will find a wide variety of foods such as vegetables, fruits, meats, exotic spices, and even baked goods.
