Welcome to Somerset — England’s cider county, where rolling hills meet seaside towns and the M5 keeps Taunton and Bristol firmly connected. With around 570,000 residents who know the shortcut past Glastonbury Tor better than any sat‑nav, Somerset blends rural calm with festival buzz.

Schools That Actually Impress

Millfield School (the independent heavyweight), King’s College Taunton, and Wells Cathedral School all carry strong reputations. Translation: your kids will get a solid education, and you’ll have plenty of parents comparing exam results at the school gates.

Economy With a Balance

Somerset’s economy mixes agriculture, tourism, and manufacturing with growing service and tech hubs in Taunton and Yeovil. Add in commuters heading to Bristol, Bath, and Exeter, and you’ve got a county that’s practical, connected, and quietly thriving.

Things to Do (Besides Timing the M5 Traffic)

• Glastonbury Festival – world‑famous music and culture event.

• Cheddar Gorge – dramatic cliffs and caves, plus the cheese that made the name.

• Local favourites – Somerset cider for foodies, Bath Rugby for matchday buzz, and countryside walks for fresh air and photo ops.

Moving Services That Keep It Simple

At M&G, we can’t fix the M5 bottleneck, but we can make moving day a whole lot easier:

• Full packing services

• Secure, insured storage (ideal if your chain moves slower than traffic at Junction 25)

• Local, national, European & overseas moves (because sometimes Somerset is just a stepping stone to San Francisco)
