Somerset is famous for its associations with King Arthur and the impressive hill fort at South Cadbury. This is an area of remote villages and small country towns where Punky Night is still celebrated at the start of the old New Year with lanterns made from hollowed-out mangold-wurrzels. Bonfires and and dancing are essential parts of the ceremony.

Sedgemoor and the Somerset Levels are the heart of the county and their low lying fields contrast with the high waste of Exmoor to the southwest. The county continues to have mild winters so much so that that there are vineyards near Glastonbury as there were at the time of Domesday.
