Otherwise
known
as
Somersetshire, the modern county of Somerset covers 1,365
square miles and has a population of 450,000. Somerset has the smallest
City in the UK at Wells in the UK and some wonderful market towns. Frome,
Glastonbury, Shepton Mallet, Street & Wells are the five
Mendip 'towns. Mendip is one of the most beautiful areas of Britain and
includes not only the Mendip Hills, from which it takes its name, but
also parts of the Somerset Levels, the caves at Wookey, the smallest
city and the largest village in England. It also contains the
supposed site of the mythical Isle of Avalon.
AVALON
Avalon (probably from the Welsh word afal,
meaning apple; is a legendary island featured in the Arthurian
legend. It first appears in Geoffrey of Monmouth's 1136
pseudohistorical account Historia Regum Britanniae ("The History of the
Kings of Britain") as the place where King Arthur's sword Excalibur
(Caliburnus) was forged and later where Arthur was taken to recover
from his wounds after the Battle of Camlann. Avalon was associated from
an early date with immortal beings such as Morgan le Fay.
Around 1190, Avalon became associated with Glastonbury, when
monks at Glastonbury Abbey claimed to have discovered the bones of
Arthur and his queen. It is in the work of Gerald of Wales we find this
connection made for the first time and it clearly draws on Geoffrey:
What is now known as Glastonbury was, in ancient
times, called the Isle of Avalon. It is virtually an island, for it is
completely surrounded by marshlands. In Welsh it is called Ynys
Afallach, which means the Island of Apples and this fruit once grew in
great abundance. After the Battle of Camlann, a noblewoman called
Morgan, later the ruler and patroness of these parts as well as being a
close blood-relation of King Arthur, carried him off to the island, now
known as Glastonbury, so that his wounds could be cared for. Years ago
the district had also been called Ynys Gutrin in Welsh, that is the
Island of Glass, and from these words the invading Saxons later coined
the place-name 'Glastingebury'.
Though no longer an island in the twelfth century, the high conical
bulk of Glastonbury Tor had been surrounded by marsh before the
surrounding fenland in the Somerset Levels was drained. As Gerald says
Glastonbury's earliest name in Welsh was Ineswitrin (or Ynys Witrin),
the Isle of glass, a name noted by earlier historians which shows that
the location was at one point seen as an island. The discovery of the
burial is described by chroniclers, notably Gerald of Wales, as being
just after King Henry II's reign when the new abbot of Glastonbury,
Henry de Sully, commissioned a search of the abbey grounds. At a depth
of 5 m (16 feet) the monks discovered a massive treetrunk coffin and a
leaden cross bearing the inscription: Hic jacet sepultus inclitus rex
Arthurus in insula Avalonia. ("Here lies renowned King Arthur in the
island of Avalon"). Accounts of the exact
inscription vary, with five
different versions existing. The earliest is by Gerald in "Liber de
Principis instructione" c.1193, and he says he saw the cross, and it
read: "Here lies buried the famous King Arthur with Guinevere his
second wife in the isle of Avalon".
Inside the coffin were two bodies,
who Giraldus refers to as Arthur and "his queen"; the bones of the male
body were described as being gigantic. The account of the burial by the
chronicle of Margam Abbey says three bodies were found, the other being
of Mordred. In 1278, the remains were reburied with great
ceremony,
attended by King Edward I and his queen, before the High Altar at
Glastonbury Abbey, where they were the focus of pilgrimages until the
Reformation.
The Glastonbury burial is tainted
with the suggestion
of forgery as an example of Pseudoarchaeology. Historians today
generally dismiss the authenticity of the find, attributing it to a
publicity stunt performed to raise funds to repair the Abbey, which was
mostly burned in 1184. Long before this William of Malmesbury, a
historian interested in Arthur, said in his history of England "But
Arthur’s grave is nowhere seen, whence antiquity of fables still claims
that he will return."[14] As William wrote a comprehensive history of
Glastonbury De antiquitae Glatoniensis ecclesie around 1130 which
discussed many pious legends connected to the Abbey, but made no
mention of either Arthur's grave or a connection of Glastonbury to the
name Avalon, stating firmly it was previously known as Ineswitrin, this
raises further suspicions concerning the burial. It is known for
certain the monks later added forged passages to William's history
discussing Arthurian connections.
The fact that the search for the
body is connected to Henry II and Edward I, both kings who fought major
Welsh wars, has had scholars suggest that propaganda may have played a
part as well.[16] Gerald, a constant supporter of royal authority, in
his account of the discovery clearly aims to destroy the idea of the
possibility of King's Arthur's messianic return: "Many tales are told
and many legends have been invented about King Arthur and his
mysterious ending. In their stupidity the British [i.e. Welsh, Cornish
and Bretons] people maintain that he is still alive.
Now that the truth
is known, I have taken the trouble to add a few more details in this
present chapter. The fairy-tales have been snuffed out, and the true
and indubitable facts are made known, so that what really happened must
be made crystal clear to all and separated from the myths which have
accumulated on the subject."
The burial discovery ensured that in
later romances,
histories based on them and in the popular imagination Glastonbury
became increasingly identified with Avalon, an identification that
continues strongly today. The later development of the legends of the
Holy Grail and Joseph of Arimathea by Robert de Boron interconnected
these legends with Glastonbury and with Avalon an identification which
also seems to be made in Perlesvaus.
The popularity of Arthurian
Romance has meant this area of the Somerset Levels has today become
popularly described as The Vale Of Avalon. In more recent times
writers such as Dion Fortune, John Michell, Nicholas Mann and Geoffrey
Ashe have formed theories based on perceived connections between
Glastonbury and Celtic legends of the otherworld and Annwn in attempts
to link the location firmly with Avalon, drawing on the various legends
based on Glastonbury Tor as well as drawing on ideas like Earth
mysteries, Ley lines and even the myth of Atlantis. Arthurian
literature also continues to use Glastonbury as an important location
as in The Mists of Avalon and A Glastonbury Romance.
Even the fact
Somerset has many apple orchards has been drawn in to support the
connection. Glastonbury's connection to Avalon continues to make it a
site of tourism and the area has great religious significance for
Neopagans Neo-druids and as a New Age community as well as Christians.
Hippy identification of Glastonbury with Avalon seen in the work of
Michell and in Gandalf's Garden also helped inspire the Glastonbury
Festival.

Motto 'SUMORSAETE EALLE' - All the people of Somerset.
Arms granted 29th December 1911. Crest and supporters granted 14th
October 2003?
The
dragon was said to have been the emblem of the Royal House of the Saxon
Kingdom of Wessex, of which Somerset was a part. The Wessex dragon is
sometimes shown red and sometimes gold. According to Henry of
Huntingdon, writing in the twelfth century, the dragon was already the
emblem of the West Saxons at the middle of the eighth century, and it
seems to be likely that they had adopted it in token of their conquest
of the Britons. While Somerset bears the dragon in token of the Kingdom
of Wessex, the emblem also aptly recalls that according to legend the
County contains King Arthur's capital, Camelot, and his place of
burial, Avalon. The mace is the symbol of local government. The
Saxon Crown along with those about the necks of the supporters refer to
the three kings of Saxon England buried at Glastonbury. The Cheddar
Pink is a flower that grows only on stony ledges in Cheddar Gorge. The ram, stag,
bull and cider apples represent Somerset's agriculture and natural
history. The motto
recalls dramatic days in the history of Wessex when, early in 878
Danish invaders threatened to overwhelm the kingdom and Alfred the
Great, the young King of Wessex, was forced to take refuge on Athelney
in the 'fen fastnesses' of the Somerset Levels. The story is famously
told in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle."And afterwards
at Easter . . . he and the section of the people of Somerset which was
nearest to it proceeded to fight . . . against the enemy. Then in the
seventh week after Easter he rode to Egbert's Stone east of Selwood,
and there came to meet him all the people of Somerset ('Sumorsaete
ealle') and of Wiltshire and of that part of Hampshire which was on the
side of the sea, and they rejoiced to see him."The Chronicle
continues by recording Alfred’s defeat of the Danes at Edington in
Wiltshire and the baptism at Aller, near Athelney, of the Danish leader.It was
appropriate that when the County Council was granted armorial bearings
the golden dragon should have been chosen as the centrepiece of the
shield, and that its motto should be 'Sumorsaete ealle', recalling
those crucial events in national history when Somerset and its people
were first mentioned.
Does Facebook
Have a Case?
Facebook is
suing a company called Teachbook , which operates
a social networking site for teachers, apparently because it has "book"
in its name and "competes" with Facebook. Teachbook is described as "a
professional community for teachers". Sounds like a threat to
Facebook's existence doesn't it?
Well we know of a book that predates Facebook and tells us all about
Somerset. Yes "The Doomsdaybook! The Domesday Book was commissioned in
December 1085 by William the Conqueror, who invaded England in 1066.
The first draft was completed in August 1086 and contained records for
13,418 settlements in the English counties south of the rivers Ribble
and Tees (the border with Scotland at the time).Read about Somerset in

THE MENDIP HILLS
The Mendip Hills are an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. They extend
from just east of Wells almost to the Bristol Channel. Man has lived
and worked on the Hills for many thousands of years. There are numerous
burial mounds and the Romans mined for lead and what is left of these
workings can be found at Charterhouse. These days the hills are enjoyed
by the many visitors for the walking, biking, horse riding trails and
the fantastic views. One of the best hills to climb is Crook Peak and
although not that high it has far reaching views over the Somerset
Levels and over the Bristol Channel to Wales. King John's Hunting Lodge
is an early Tudor timber-framed wool merchant's house dating from about
1500. Ebbor Gorge is not on the scale of Cheddar Gorge but offers a
beautiful meadow trail with wild flowers, wildlife and a small rocky
gorge to walk through. Brean Down is not part of the Mendips but it is
an extension of the hill range that juts into the Bristol Channel. This
rocky outcrop is also a nature reserve that can be reached via a coast
road from Burnham.

Glastonbury
is a different and rather lively small town. It has rich traditions, a
cosmopolitan community and a taste of tomorrow. It sits on the ancient
Isle of Avalon in the Somerset Levels, with a backdrop of soft, green,
rolling hills.
It has been a pilgrimage place for thousands of years. In the Middle
Ages a great abbey was here - it was England's 'holyest earthe'. It now
hosts the famous Glastonbury Festival, pilgrimages, music, a carnival,
several conferences and other events. People visit from the world over,
seeking a certain special something....
Overlooking it all is Glastonbury Tor, a fascinating holy hill.
Tradition has it that Jesus visited and Joseph of Arimathaea built a
church here, King Arthur and Guinevere were buried here and it was an
ancient place of the Goddess. It was home to the medieval saints
Patrick, Dunstan, Benedict, David and Bridget.
Glastonbury has a population of nearly 10,000 people. It has a number
of small industries, many self-employed people with special skills, a
specialised retail sector and a big visitor trade. The Tourist Office
is housed in Glastonbury Tribunal in the High Street. Take time to

FESTIVAL
The Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts, commonly
abbreviated to Glastonbury, is best known for its contemporary music,
but also features dance, comedy, theatre, circus, cabaret and many
other arts. For 2005, the enclosed area of the festival was over 900
acres (3.6 km²), had over 385 live performances and was
attended by around 150,000 people. In 2007, over 700 acts played on
over 80 stages and the capacity expanded by 20,000 to
177,000 In 2011 UK Music published a report stating that
Glastonbury Festival contributes over £100 million annually to
the UK economy
The Lake Village Museum presents an insight into
everyday life in an Iron-Age settlement, dating from around 2000 years
ago, when much of Somerset’s landscape was covered by marshy sea.
Although these marshes have long been artifically drained, the
excellent preservative properties of the peaty wetland soils in the
Glastonbury area left an archaeological legacy of international
importance.

the group -of all ages, singles, couples, and some with partners of
other faiths. We vary in our levels of observance, but we all 'click'
very well, and we love to welcome new members -I guarantee you'll have
a great time! Our aim appears to be socialising, nosh and talks from
group members.
VIRGIN HOT
AIR BALOONING
There was a time when Glastonbury’s famous tour was the talk of the
town. It still is, but now somewhat overshadowed by the world’s top
musicians and stars descending on the nation’s most famous farm for a
100,000 strong annual music marathon and/or sludge fest. But when they
leave, Glastonbury becomes a serene picture of rural perfection. A
stone’s throw from historic Cheddar and just a hop skip and a jump from
beautiful Devon, you can be sure our Glastonbury launch site is a feast
for the eyes.Take off, drift over incredible landscape then land in any
one of thousands of empty fields.There’s no better way to explore one
of Somerset’s biggest boasts than from the basket of a Virgin hot air
balloon.

SHEPTON MALLET
Shepton
Mallet is a delightful mixture of old and new; a combination of ancient
market town and modern industrial community, nestling in a fold
towards the western edge of the Mendip Hills. With a
population of some 8,000 residents Shepton Mallet is an ideal centre
from which to visit the region's many and varied tourist attractions. Notable
among the town's many features of interest is the Parish Church of St.
Peter and St. Paul, the architectural history of the building is a
challenging puzzle to those interested in the development of
churches. The 50-foot
high Market Cross in the centre of the town dates from 1500, the
Victoria Fountain has been recently been restored and nearby is a
remnant of The Shambles, a 15th century covered market stall. A
thriving outdoor market is still held around the Market Cross every
Friday.
For 3,000 years Shepton Mallet has been a hive of industry. The
livelihoods of at least 120 generations have been spent in this small
market town nestling in a fold of the Mendip Hills, along the narrow
valley of the stream known as the River Sheppey. Recently, exciting new
archaeological discoveries have revealed even more of the town's early
history. In 1995 Bronze Age homesteads and pottery were found during
excavations near Cannards Grave, to the south of the town. Maesbury
Ring, the Iron Age town, 950 feet up on the Mendips is the earliest
trace.
The Romans left their mark on Shepton Mallet. The Fosse Way, their
"motorway" from Exeter to the north of the country - passes through the
east of the town, and its route can be traced up the narrow tracks of
Brecon Hill, where ancient tumuli dot the landscape. Remains of Roman
potters' kilns were found where the Anglo-Bavarian Brewery was built in
he 1860s. Then in 1988, the discovery of a lead coffin led to the
excavations in 1990 which revealed signs of a whole Roman industrial
town beside the Fosse Way. It is believed that there is much more to
unearth.
'Sceapton' or Sheep Fold was an Anglo-Saxon village. Over the next few
centuries it grew into a prosperous market town, its wealth based on
sheep and wool. The fine Parish Church, the Market Cross and the
'shambles' market stall in the Market Place all date from this
period.The
Shepton Mallet Tourist Information and Heritage Centre is conveniently
situated at the top High Street. It is open from 10am to 4pm on Mondays
to Fridays from April to October and from 10am to 4pm from November to
March, and is also open from 10am to 2pm Saturdays from April to
October and 10am to 1pm November to March.

KILVER
COURT GARDENS
A trip to Kilver Court promises an all-encompassing lifestyle
experience, the ingredients being: the gardens and nursery; a farm shop
and café. The gardens are Somerset’s best kept secret featuring
a millpond and boating lake as well as rolling lawns, parterres and
herbaceous borders. In Spring there is the most spectacular vibrant
colour of rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias, but probably the most
staggering feature of this Secret garden is the backdrop - a vast Grade
II* listed viaduct built for the Somerset and Dorset railway in 1874.
These features have helped Kilver to become one of the county’s leading
wedding venues.
The Mid Somerset
Show
has been staged for over 150 years, it is enjoying a real revival in
current times
with attendances up for three years in a row and not least because it
is
the only FREE ENTRY SHOW in England.
The
largest village in the district, Street has a long association with
Clarks and there is an interesting Shoe Museum. Street is home to
Clarks Village, a major factory shopping complex with over 80 outlet
shops from a host of famous brands It is situated on a dry spot in the
Somerset Levels, at the end of the Polden Hills, 2 miles (3.2 km)
south-west of Glastonbury. The 2001 census records the village as
having a population of 11,066. Its name comes from a 12th century
causeway from Glastonbury which was built to transport local Blue Lias
stone from what is now Street to rebuild Glastonbury Abbey, although it
had previously been known as Lantokay and Lega.

becomes a great day out! Some of the high quality items sold at greatly
discounted prices include cancelled orders, past season's lines,
discontinued items, over runs and samples. Perhaps the greatest outlet

The smallest city in
England, Wells is an unspoilt market town of outstanding beauty,
located in rolling countryside, at the foot of the Mendip Hills.
Although much of the glory of Wells lies in the past, it is very much a
city of the present day, a busy market town, and an educational and
commercial centre. Wells is a medieval city nestling on the
southern side of the Mendip Hills with the mystic Somerset Levels
stretching away to the south and west. The history of Wells goes right
back to Roman times when we know that there was a settlement, probably
because of the springs that bubble up here. Wells gets its name from
these springs which can today be found in the gardens of the Bishop's
Palace. Wells is the smallest city in England with about 12,000
inhabitants. It can call itself a city because of the famous 13th
century Cathedral. It remains remarkably unspoilt and has many other
historic buildings including the moated Bishop's Palace, Vicars' Close,
St Cuthbert's Church and a good local museum. The Wells Market Place,
with lively markets twice a week, the narrow streets and an eclectic
mix of building styles all reflect on the continuing development of the
town throughout the ages. Wells Visitor Information Service offer a
wide range of services to both visitors and local residents alike, and
a warm welcome will always be assured.
Members of staff at the Visitor Information Service will be pleased to
help you with a wide range of services and enquiries, including:
-Local Accommodation Booking Service for Inspected Properties.
-Advice and guidance on what to see and do in the area including
details of local attractions, opening times and entrance charges.
-Tickets and Discount vouchers for local events and attractions.
-Local “Access” information for attractions and the city of Wells.
-Public transport details, including train and bus timetables.
The Wells Visitor Information Service moved from the Market Place to
the Wells Museum at the end of July 2010.
This
splendid medieval palace has been the home of the Bishops of Bath &
Wells for over 800 years. The first bishop of Bath & Wells received
a crown licence to build a residence and deer park to the south of the
cathedral. There are 14 acres of gardens including the springs from
which the city takes its name. Within the fortified Palace walls lie
the ruin of the Great Hall, the Bishop’s private chapel and the gardens
with a small arboretum. This uniquely moated palace has an imposing
gatehouse with portcullis and drawbridge which give the impression that
you may be entering a castle structure, but inside is a peaceful and
tranquil residence for the visitor to enjoy.
This
Grade II listed garden at Milton Lodge just outside Wells, was
conceived around 1900 by Mr Charles Tudway, the present owner’s great
grandfather. During the first ten years of the 20th Century the sloping
ground was transformed into the existing series of architectural
terraces, specifically to capitalise on the glorious views of Wells
Cathedral and the Vale of Avalon. Associated with the garden is a seven
acre arboretum. We are open from Good Friday until the end of October
between 2pm and 5pm every Tuesday, Wednesday, Sunday and Bank Holiday.
VICARS
CLOSE
Vicars' Close next to Wells Cathedral is a stunning medieval cobbled
street. It is said to be the oldest continually occupied street in
Europe. It was built in 1360s as an extension of the cathedral by
Bishop Ralph of Shrewsbury. He built the Vicar’s Hall and Close to give
the men of the quire secure accommodation away from the temptations of
the town. The Close and Cathedral are linked by a bridge.
It still houses members of the choir today and has remained unchanged
in nearly 700 years.
WELLS
CATHEDRAL
The present Cathedral in Wells,
started in 1180 and largely completed by 1306, is one of the most
impressive cathedrals in Britain. It survives with all of the original
buildings associated with the cathedral including Vicar’s Close, the
Chapter House and Cloisters.
It has been discovered from archaeological excavations, that there was
a Roman Mausoleum on this site as well as a previous cathedral known as
the Anglo-Saxon Minster church of St. Andrew. The foundations of the
previous cathedral can be seen in the Camery Gardens just by the
cathedral.
Wells Cathedral has probably the grandest West Front of any cathedral
in Britain. It still retains over 300 of the original medieval statues.
Inside the Cathedral are the magnificent Scissor Arches. These were
built in the fourteenth century to strengthen and support the
heightened central tower. The cathedral clock is unique as it still has
its original medieval 24 hour clock face and complicated mechanical
figures which move and ring a bell every quarter hour.
WELLS
MARKET PLACE
The Wells Market Place has been a focal point of the City over the ages
and still is today with a twice weekly market on Wednesday and Saturday
selling local produce and goods. A Farmers’ Market is held here every
Wednesday. Twice a year a funfair is held, together with other lively
activities such as the annual charity boules (petanque) competition.
Mary Rand, who was a resident of the City, achieved a world record in
the long jump at the 1964 Olympic Games. A commemorative plaque showing
the actual distance can be found in the pavement. There is also an
unusual medieval fresh water conduit. Two medieval gateways are located
on the market place known as Penniless Porch and the Bishop's Eye. The
Post Office is located here.

Crafts garden in and around an old walled garden on a hillside. The
planting is good. It is by Penelope Hobhouse, author of Colour In Your
Garden, followed by Nori and Sandra Pope, who have also written a book
on planting design with colour. The most intensively cared-for part of
the garden is within the old walled vegetable garden of Hadspen House.
Since it is on a hillside, it looks less like a vegetable garden than
other examples of this genre."
Lady Farm garden has really been making a
name
for itself over recent years. It is a favourite with garden
photographers and has all year interest. The 'prairie' and 'steppe'
style plantings are a real highlight not to be missed but there is much
more. A shady hosta walk, with birch and hydrangeas, leads to a
lake
which has been created from a stream. This is surrounded by natural
planting which blend into a wildflower meadow. A stream tumbles into a
deep ravine before resuming to its natural course.
Whilst there is much to see the garden is designed to be low
maintenance.
The
original
nineteenth century gardens were created for the workers of Kilver
Court. The gardens were restored in the 1960s and opened to the public
for the first time in 2008. There is a parterre, millpond and boating
lake. Kilver Court Gardens was first created by Ernest Jardine,
MP of
East Somerset, in 1880 and established what was known as ‘Jardine’s
Park’, using the mill ponds as a boating lake and the surrounding
gardens for the workers recreation. Fruit and vegetables were also
grown to provide mid-day meals for the workers- a vegetable garden has
newly been reinstated!
Acquired
by the National
Trust in 1949, this manor house and grounds is located in the depths of
rural Somerset. The Tudor great hall and 14th Century chapel are two of
the most popular attractions here. The house was once the home of
medieval herbalist Henry Lyte and this former owner planted many of the
plants still growing in the grounds. There are plenty of estate walks
to enjoy the rich architectural and cultural history.A medieval/Tudor
manor house once owned by a sixteenth century herbalist. The entrance
forecourt has a central path flanked by yew topiary. A gate leads to a
long mixed border designed by Graham Stuart Thomas. There are yew
alleys and other compartments. Christopher Hussey described the garden
as 'a necklace of garden rooms strung on green corridors'. Sir Henry
Lyte, author of the Niewe Herball (1578), lived here.

planting and fine views over Wells and its cathedral. The swimming pool
was built in 1967 and contributes to the garden design. The soil is
highly alkaline.
This
beautiful
and ancient piece of architecture stands in the heart of the
Somerset countryside and provides a fascinating visitor attraction. The

think it is confused. It pays more attention to coffee than tea and
perhaps more like a café in the true sense.

Restaurant
at Babington House
If you're into a bit of style and glamour ("it's
very media darling!") then you'll love Babington House." "It's worth
visiting for the bathrooms alone, which are pretty much the same size
as the rooms and full of roll top baths, stainless steel power showers
and fluffy white towels." "They have wonderful family suites which mean
you can get a decent night's sleep." "The pool and spa area are
stunning!", but you don't have to worry about it being stuffy: "the
food and service are homely and relaxed." "Of course, none of this
comes cheap - but what a treat!"
The sales pitch: the opening of Babington House near Frome in 1998 has
alerted the Soho House set to the existence of the countryside (Madonna
and Guy were regulars). According to Andrew Cronan of FPD Savills in
Bath, many of the members have now bought in the area.
Locals: Babington House's Nick Jones and Kirsty Young, ICA's Ivan
Massow, Peter Gabriel, Midge Ure.

Talbot Inn,
The
The Talbot
is one of those historical gems that you wish you'd found years ago,
buried deep in traditional West Country beauty and remote from the
troubles of the wider world beyond. As such they are at their best
serving traditional English food that derives its attraction from being
simple and unfussy, often locally sourced and served with pride. Menu
items include smoked salmon tagliatelli, goat's cheese ciabatta, and
calf's liver and bacon. Brixham is not that far away so the fish does
not have far to travel - I was reminded of Rick Stein asking on a TV
programme recently how fresh the sole was, which duly obliged by a
dying flap of the tail. Sea bass fillets with saffron and mussel sauce
spring to mind. House wine from a strongly French list sells at
£10.95 and for those who appreciate real ale, Butcombe bitter is
on tap. The Talbot is one of those places where
the art of making the customer feel relaxed and comfortable is
perfected to the point where it all seems completely natural - which it
is, but as ever not without considerable skill.

reputation for food and fun. The White Hart was taken over in 2007 by
Graeme Barry, his mum Christine Barry and their Business Partner Sue
Warwick and is run by Landlord Graeme with his partner
Crystal. The pub boasts a beer garden and veranda with

service is quick. I don't think there's table service here, though I
might be wrong, but whenever I've gone we just order at the counter. It
can get busy though, so make sure you get in early if it's a weekend or

This incredibly pretty house, recently brought back to life by Darren
Carter and Jason Goy, now offers a restaurant with rooms in elegant
surroundings. The restaurant, described as 'intimate' in one guide is

." The effect is dramatic. The day is split into four periods of
eating, with dinner as the main event. Darren offers a two or three
course menu, starting with a selection of canapés before going
on to, say, starters of smoked haddock on a bed of lemon and ginger
risotto, or a warm salad of asparagus with feta and quail's egg.
Vegetarians are kept in mind with a delicate Mediterranean tart
accompanied by garlic mash and a green pepper crème
frâiche. Breast of duck on coconut noodles with a cherry sauce
marks a welcome return to basics and the puddings tend to follow suit
with steamed chocolate pudding accompanied by double chocolate ice
cream and caramel sauce, and fresh fruit salad with crème
chiboust well up the list. Menus follow the seasons and total freshness
is assured.

The Lantokay
The name of this Wetherspoon pub recalls the town's origin as an
ancient settlement, called Lantokay. In time, the name was forgotten,
and the settlement was called 'Leigh' and then 'Street'.
It was the early Christian settlement, at Glastonbury, which attracted
several Celtic saints to this area. It was one such saint who settled
on the higher, drier ground above the marshes, where Street Church now
stands, and founded Lantokay, the Ilan, or sacred enclosure of Kay. The
Street Inn is one of the town's three listed pubs.

Street Inn
The Street Inn dates back to the 1780’s, and it was most probably a
coffee house in times gone by! But it seems to be on track with a
healthy future with thanks to the hard work of tenants Ty and Lyndi
which run the Enterprise Inn. Ty & Lyndi have been at the
Street Inn for 2 ½ years, Ty explains “It’s been hard work, but
we like to feel that the pub is an eclectic, vibrant pub, with a mix of
entertainment” “The Street Inn offers nights of Poker, Live music,
karaoke & Open Mic nights.” Ty explained that the music
consists of soloist, duos, Irish folk groups, (music without
Drums!) They serve London Pride, with Head Chef Lyndi providing
the food for the pub. Lyndi’s speciality is her Steak specials, i.e
steak and a desert for £12. A nice 8oz sirloin, courtesy of
S&C Taunton Butchers. Lyndi’s other forte is her homemade
desserts “try the Bread & Butter pudding I’m told.” The
Cauliflower, broccoli and cheese is a firm favourite with vegetarians
I’m pleased to say! Ty states that “it is the
quality of the food that matters to us,” and they take their time and
pride in what they do, and “Were not the fastest, but the freshest.”
With an average 20-30 minute wait for your meal, this can be
common. So you have been pre-warned, perhaps have another Doombar
whilst you’re waiting!

Annie's Tea Rooms,
Garden and Gallery
CLOSED
After five years of hard work, much merriment and
lots of cream cakes, John & Annie Deeley, the owners of the award
winning 'Annie's Tea Rooms, Garden & Gallery,' in Godney near
Wells, have, somewhat reluctantly, decided to hang up the proverbial
'spotty pinny' for the last time.This means they will not be reopening
at Easter as originally planned. The Tea Rooms received a lot of
recognition from local and national press, not least of which was being
included in The Independent newspaper as one of 'The 50 Best Tea Rooms'
in the UK and winning the top Taste of the West Gold Award in the Tea
Room/Cafe category. As a result they found this put them on a much
bigger map than they ever anticipated. People started coming from North
Wales, London, Cambridge, in fact, all over the UK, including
holiday-makers passing through Somerset on their way to Devon, Cornwall
and Dorset, to visit them, in ever increasing numbers.John & Annie
ran the Tea Rooms from their home; an old Somerset Dairy Barn, in the
small village of Godney on the Somerset Levels. Consequently, they
found themselves seriously questioning the practicality and logistics
of continuing and decided, after much soul searching, that it would
really be best to quit while they they're ahead. In an attempt to avoid
any disappointment would be visitors would feel if they were to venture
out and find the Tea Rooms no longer open, they are doing everything
they can to spread the news of their decision.

which I was looking.Then one day I decided to
put my prejudices to the test, walked into Oxford Ask! and discovered
that I could not have been more mistaken. Their claim to serve freshly
prepared quality food in stylish and comfortable surroundings with
friendly and efficient service proved to be absolutely spot on. Since then I have also discovered that a degree of
consistency seems to operate throughout their restaurants, and that
certainly does take some achieving, implying a degree of management
that is enviable. They are perfect places for an impromptu snack, a bit
of culinary grazing, or the full works, and families are catered for
particularly well.

Restaurant
at The George Inn
The owners have recently remodelled the bar to allow four real ales to
be served from the cask. One area uses canadian timber reclaimed from
the local church. The main bar has some stripped stone, dark wooden
tables and chairs and more comfortable seats, winter log fires in
inglenook fireplaces and the family grandfather clock. The attractive
dining room has more stripped stone, local artwork and photographs on
the burgundy walls and high-backed cushioned dining chairs around a mix
of tables. Up to eight real ales (four tapped from the cask, the rest
on handpump) feature King George the Thirst (brewed exclusively for
them by Blindmans), Butcombe Bitter, St Austell Proper Job and up to
five guest beers from breweries such as Abbey Ales, Arbor Ales, Cheddar
and Moor, three local ciders and ten wines by the glass. Darts,

The Old Spot
I don't
know about Old Spot but certainly the current Hot Spot in the West
Country is at Wells, where Ian Bates, one time prodigy of Simon
Hopkinson, that relatively unsung hero of the culinary world has set up
Old Spot, to be swamped with rave reviews and predictions of success.The throwing around of money is not a characteristic of the
good folk of Wells or its visitors, so pricing has been critical,
producing incredibly good food at incredibly bargain prices. The whole emphasis is on dishes that both sound good and
also have strong visual appeal. The lunch menu carries five choices in
starters and mains, with four desserts. Amongst dishes to delight are a
ceviche of organic salmon with delicately chopped red chilli, some
fresh coriander and a smooth avocado purée, braised shoulder of
lamb that had been slowly cooked over many hours, then pan-fried as
required ensuring the meat has a crisp caramelised finish.A dessert of peach trifle laced with pistachios provided a
finish with a flourish. The wine list is the product of Bill Baker,
former child of Avery's, who knew an opportunity when he saw one, and
is already highly regarded.

Ritchers Restaurant
The seating is on two levels, with a large spiral staircase. Bistro
style dining downstairs and more "restauranty" upstairs, although the
menu, price and service are the same (classical French with a modern
approach). Lunchtime, more so in the winter, classical British dishes
are modernised i.e. steamed lamb pudding with a prune and Armagnac jus,
minced lamb and leek strudel with onion gravy and mashed potatoes. In
the summer, a warm bacon, new potato and wood mushroom salad with a
stilton vinaigrette or fillet of fresh ling in herb, breadcrumbs
pan-fried with sauce tartare. The dinner menu changes every 8 to 12
weeks, with winter dishes being more robust. In summer lighter dishes
and more fish is available. Ritcher's is a small but busy restaurant,
trying to keep abreast of the trends in food, sometimes copying,
improving or changing ideas from other bigger and more high profile
establishments, offering our regular customers and tourists good food
at very reasonable prices.

a slow roasted duck confit. A dessert of strawberry and raspberry
cheesecake and pears poached in port and honey could help in rounding

The
dragon was said to have been the emblem of the Royal House of the Saxon
Kingdom of Wessex, of which Somerset was a part. The Wessex dragon is
sometimes shown red and sometimes gold. According to Henry of
Huntingdon, writing in the twelfth century, the dragon was already the
emblem of the West Saxons at the middle of the eighth century, and it
seems to be likely that they had adopted it in token of their conquest
of the Britons. While Somerset bears the dragon in token of the Kingdom
of Wessex, the emblem also aptly recalls that according to legend the
County contains King Arthur's capital, Camelot, and his place of
burial, Avalon. The mace is the symbol of local government.
