    I’m from Somerset 💚 Grew up on the outskirts of Taunton & went to school in Wellington. I’ve lived in other parts of the UK & travelled much of the world. Now I live in Australia, but I miss Somerset a lot, the beautiful hills & the lovely, down to earth people. 🥰 My mum was buried in one of those eco coffins!

    I work in Bristol but have always lived in North-East Somerset, and yeah it's a really amazing place to be. I'm not that close to Glastonbury, a good thirty minutes away, but have spent a lot of time there as my father was in a nursing home there before he passed. I miss him a lot, but wouldn't have had it any other way. If you've never been, it's worth spending time there at least once. Thanks for making this video.

    It's weird how Somerset accents vary from place to place.

    I also think it might be a generation thing as well.

      @Yanks & Brits depends where you go
      Not sure if you still need this advice tho
      The villages can get extremely expensive, with some being some of the most expensive outside of London
      The towns and larger villages are more affordable, with the cheapest most likely Bridgwater though I can't confirm that.

    • @JamesMarshall-oh5vj
      @JamesMarshall-oh5vj Před 21 dnem

      I can confirm that bridgwater is currently the cheapest. There's an interestingly big gap between rent price and sale price in Somerset compared to other Counties in the south west though, not quite sure why because lots of historical farmland is now being developed into housing estates.
