Welcome to Taunton

Taunton, the county town of Somerset, is every bit full of the gorgeous greenery you would expect from a place boasting such a title. Beautiful parks, picturesque lakes, sensational flora and fauna all help you to fall in love with nature all over again. It’s probably what it is best known for: a kind of splendid British beauty many thought lost in time, like an old steam train chugging along an endless wave of green. And it more than lives up to expectations, proving that sometimes the simple things are the best.

However, the natural scenery is not all that is available here. Alongside this stunning backdrop lies some captivating historical sites, thanks to its millenniums of military and religious history, which are often intertwined. This longevity means that not only is there amazing architecture in Taunton, but also a wide variety of architectural styles. This brings a unique mixture of aesthetics to the already beautiful land to create a treat for both the eyes and the mind.

That’s not to say that Taunton is stuck in the past though – far from it. This is an area which has transformed itself into a wonderful example of how a town can adapt with the times. It shows that a location can enjoy such a rich heritage while also providing the modern conveniences people expect, such as supermarkets, retail parks, restaurants, pubs and cafes. In fact, Taunton has made a bit of a name for itself as a foodie haven. They manage all of this while not losing any of the charm or character which make it such a special place to live.

On top of this, the town is full of opportunity. All that modernisation creates jobs, and Taunton now has a diverse economy featuring everything from cider production to work in the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office. If that’s not variety, we don’t know what is.

Of course, if opportunity takes you elsewhere, you could always take advantage of Taunton’s public transport to make your way around the country. Particularly useful is the town’s access to the Bristol to Exeter line via Taunton railway station. For drivers, there are also excellent road links connecting to the M5 motorway alongside several A roads.

Taunton is beautiful, but it’s also a practical, dynamic place to live.
