The West Country / Somerset region

Somerset is a beautiful part of the country and the Midford Valley's sheltered location creates a unique micro-climate.

The local area is of significant historic and archeological interest, with the father of English geology, William Smith, having resided nearby.

The area also sits on the site of the old Somerset coal canal and there are many artefacts to be found locally. The Annexe is just five minutes' walk from the Tucking MIll Viaduct, soon to become the site of the Sutrans cycle track 24.

The Bath / Midford area

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, there is lots to see and do in Bath. With historic architecture such as the Pulteney Bridge, Bath Abbey, the Roman Baths, the Royal Crescent and the Circus, and attractions including the Fashion Museum (previously the Museum of Costumes), the Jane Austen Centre and the Bath Thermae Spa, you'll be spoilt for choice.

There a regular festivals and events in Bath, including the Music Festival in June, the Mozart Festival in November, the Literary Festival in February/March and the Chrismas Market in December.
