There’s more to Somerset than Glastonbury, cheese and cider (though it’s a bit of a foodie heaven), with gorgeous houses and villages, cool towns, cutting edge art, the Somerset Levels, Exmoor, its own Jurassic north coast – and the World Heritage City of Bath.

Langport
Thriving laid back indies and a spirit to match on the edge of the Somerset Levels (and with the possible return of the railway it could be a good time to buy).

Ilminster
Sleepy Somerset market town which just happens to house the HQ (with shop and bar) of one of the UK's top designers.

Castle Cary
Enjoy all that this pretty South Somerset town has to offer and Bruton's culture/foodie scene on the doorstep (but without the price tag to live there).

Bear Flat, Bath
The best of both worlds in this 'village' to the south of the city centre, with a lovely community feel and lots of indy shops – yet with everything the World Heritage City of Bath has to offer on your doorstep.

Frome
The community-minded town’s packed with arty, artisan indy businesses and cafes, and hosts the best street market in the West.

Bruton
The Notting Hill of the South West has more than its fair share of cultural highlights, great food and famous people.

Clevedon
Independently minded, lively little seaside town overlooking the Bristol Channel and beyond, with elegant Victorian villas, indy shops and eateries, possibly the country's prettiest pier – and only 15 miles from Bristol.

Wells
England's smallest city is fast becoming the South West's go-to place for festivals with annual food, comedy, theatre and literary fests.
