This unspoilt corner of the West Country has the discreet charm you would expect of somewhere on the fringes of the beautiful Mendip Hills. Discover the ancient villages of Churchill and Chew Magna or the peace and serenity of the Chew Valley Lake. Wells is an ancient city that seems little changed since medieval times, and Cheddar Gorge is a spectacular sight that conceals a fantastic network of caves just waiting for you to explore.

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
