Autumn

When the leaves are starting to turn, the swallows congregating on the telephone wires and cooler breezes are evident. There are plenty of local walks that show you the full 360 view of the Severn Estuary, Wales, Mendips and Quantocks down south. More of our local cafes and restaurants are open and everyone is getting used to masking up in shops and crowded places.

Here are some links to check out for up to date information and to enable you to make the most of your visit.
