Wedmore, Somerset
Go to Wedmore when you;re on your group holiday in Somerset and you'll find a peaceful but bustling village, out on the Somerset Levels, on raised ground between the Rivers Axe and Brue, which is why it's also known as The Isle of Wedmore. And what a pretty place it is, with old cottages around the square that dates back to Saxon times, and some very handsome Georgian houses. It might be hard to imagine going shopping in a village but you can here; there are independent boutiques and gift shops, a very good delicatessen with a cafe, a florists, fishmongers and a farm shop. There are even beauty salons and hairdressers, so you can call in for a bit of pampering if you have time, and if you fancy lunch afterwards, there’s a choice of three pubs and a popular cafe.
The village has a very lively community with regular events – farmers/craft markets, Tower Tours of the church, the annual Bad Art Show with the top award of the Turnip Prize, and every July everyone comes out for the Street Fair. Worth a browse and a stop for food at The Swan, The George, or the New Inn.
