Formerly a deer park for Taunton Castle, this country house was built in 1546 and is now open to the public.
Since the museum re-opened following major refurbishment at the end of September 2011, it hosts a series of displays, complimenting the stories told in the main Museum of Somerset. Uniform, medal and regimental displays, as well as tributes to those who lost their lives serving our country, are all located within the appropriate site of Taunton Castle.
An interesting mix of community theatre and music plus well-known comedians.
There were originally two mills in the village, now just one survives and this has been renovated to allow visitors.You will also find on site a blacksmiths's shop, 2 small museums, a gypsy caravan, pretty garden and tea room. Entry is by ticket so check their website for prices and availability as the mill is not open year round.
Set in the heart of Taunton, the museum tells the county's story from prehistoric times to present day using real objects, interactive games, eye catching film projections and the words and voices of Somerset people, past and present. An under floor Plesiosaur, the largest collection of Roman coins ever discovered in Britian and a chilling recreation of the infamous Bloody Assizes - you'll find them all here. A great day out for all the family with free entry to the museum.
This local landmark, built in honour of the Duke of Wellington, sits at the highest point of the Blackdown Hills. The views across Taunton Vale to the Bristol Channel are well worth seeing.
