Somerset Coast

The coast of Somerset, in southwest England, is a very beautiful region, with cliffs, rough seas and wind. It's almost a little like Ireland. You can discover it by driving or by taking the train with Somerset Railway. It is a very nice route along the coast near Minehead, which is travelled by old trains using diesel or steam. On the coast itself, it's best to go walking and cycling and of course there's the beach for swimming. But there are many people who come to surf windsurf. Villages along the coast include Dunster, Minehead and Porlock. They are mostly ancient villages with fine buildings and charming hotels.
