Top Tips for that extra special family holiday in Somerset

• Beaches, harbours, marinas and traditional seaside towns, you will find them all in Somerset.  Minehead is a top holiday resort with a flower-decked promenade packed with family attractions.  From Burnham-on-Sea to Brean Sands there are miles of sandy beaches, ideal for your family holidays.  Weston Super Mare is the classic British holiday town with a Pier, loads of attractions and amusements; donkey rides on the beach for the kids and some great cafes and restaurants.

• Trains and cars and planes are displayed at various stages of history in Museums across Somerset.  The Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovil is very child friendly and hands-on with fabulous exhibitions and events throughout the year, and The Helicopter Museum in Weston-Super-Mare is a really fascinating place to spend time with the family whatever the weather. Haynes Motor Museum has something to suit everyone, from a soft play fun bus to the largest UK exhibition of classic and super cars from around the world.  

• A wonderfully nostalgic family outing is a ride on the West Somerset Railway for a scenic journey through rolling hills, beautiful countryside and unspoilt villages. The 20-mile journey follows the old county branch railway line from Minehead to Bishops Lydeard.  

• Somerset has some fabulous towns and if you are nearby they are well worth a visit. There are the Roman Baths and Pump Rooms in the elegant and historic city of Bath, The village of Glastonbury with magnificent views from the Tor and Glastonbury Abbey with acres of parkland, stunning gardens and romantic ruins all steeped in the legends of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere. 

• The pretty village of Cheddar nestling at the bottom of the magnificent limestone gorge is not just famous for cheese.  The spectacular Cheddar Gorge and Caves make a fascinating day out with the family, whether the kids are able to walk and climb, or prefer to see it all from an open top bus. There is so much to see and do here, but the entrance ticket is valid for 10 years, so you can return and visit the parts you missed!   

• For another cave experience which maybe more suitable for the younger family members, try the fabulous attractions at Wookey Hole Caves & Papermill in Wells.  Witches, fairies, pirates and dinosaurs you will find them all here!
