Taunton is the county town of Somerset, and has a population of nearly 65,000. The town is perhaps most famous as the home of Somerset County Cricket, and the Taunton Cricket Ground regularly plays host to England internationals. If you are a member of the Barmy Army, then why not book a last minute cottage in the area for the full 5 days of test action? If cricket is not really your thing, then you will be more than satisfied by the gorgeous countryside of Somerset and its offering of different trails for walking and cycling.
