Description

Somerset is a county of contrasts. Flat moors hiding fascinating evidence of the lives of centuries past lying beside abrupt hills cleft by nature into crannies and caves. Somerset has seen both the first flickering light of Christianity and the darkness of a war where men fought their own neighbours. World-famous prosperous industries exist in the midst of rich dairy pastures stretching to the horizon.

By exploring the stories that lie behind such landmarks, this book reveals that Cheddar is more than just caves, Wells is more than a cathedral, and the moors are more than just flat fields. Other, perhaps less well known areas and events that have helped to shape Somerset's rich history are also covered.
