Places to see, things to do

The Somerset Levels

Winding lanes and overgrown hedgerows, cider and cheese, cream teas in cottage gardens, wildlife and wetlands - this is the very essence of Somerset.

Staying at Jonswood Lodge gives you direct access onto the Somerset Levels.

Hundreds of miles of quiet country lanes await .The best way to explore the area is to leave the car behind and appreciate the stunnig scenery and tranquillity by bike or on foot.

Walking in Somerset

Somerset offers the walker a diverse range of landscapes to explore.

To the north of Watchfield  rises the massive limestone uplands of the Mendips with its intriguing network of caves and pot-holes, dry river valleys and gorges.

To the east the Somerset levels stretch towards the Cathedral city of Wells.

In south Somerset the hills are perhaps more isolated but of much greater prominence due to their isolation.

To the west the landscape becomes dominated by upland regions of considerable repute - the Quantocks, the Brendons and , of course, Exmoor National Park.

The Somerset coast offers a mixture of rocky headlands and mud-flats miniature cliffs and sandy shores.

Brean Beach, Burnham-on-Sea - 3 Miles away*
Recommended by the Good Beach Guide, Brean Sands lies below the National Trust headland of Brean Down. It forms the northernmost part of a seven mile stretch of sands, is ideal for walking and beach sports, and has plenty of rock pools to explore.

Burnham-on-sea beach, Burnham-on-Sea - 3 Miles away*
This beach is part of a seven mile stretch of sand from Burnham-on-sea to Brean Down. A considerable tidal range leaves mud flats at low tide but there are sandy areas and there's a wildlife reserve to visit. It's a good beach for windsurfing and canoeing.


Berrow Beach, Berrow - 4.8 Miles away*
A lovely long sandy beach which although popular doesn't get as crowded as its neighbour in Weston-Super-Mare. There is also a great expanse of flats for playing cricket or having a family footie match!

Weston-Super-Mare Beach, Weston-Super-Mare - 10.3 Miles away*
A traditional sandy resort beach with excellent facilities for a family day out. Attractions include the miniature railway, sea-life centre, arcades and the famous Weston donkeys. The hard packed sand is ideal for kite-buggying, mountain-boarding and landsailing.
