If you just fancy diving into the local culinary scene then you're in for a treat, as there are numerous places to eat in Taunton providing everything from sustainable British cuisine made with local produce to quick bites perfect for when you’re out and about.
Surrounded by two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Blackdown Hills and Quantock Hills, Taunton provides a great jumping off point for exploring all Somerset has to offer. Famed for being home to the legendary music festival Glastonbury, Cheddar cheese and Stone Henge, Somerset is a great place to visit not just for the food - although that is a bonus. Taunton itself features stunning architecture, cultural activities as well as plenty of modern amenities, including a particularly trendy shopping area with pedestrianised streets lined with independent boutiques and well known brands. Stay for a night or two to hike around the hills, or learn about the historic Taunton Castle Lodge which dates back to Anglo Saxon times. Round it off with a date at one of the many restaurants in Taunton and you're sure to have a restful getaway.
