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 used to live in Wellington Somerset. Used to fly around the bloody Wellington monument in my ultralight, nearly hit it one day because I was giving my mates the finger . Great place to live.
Can't beat the Somerset life as I'm from frome born and bread beautiful place you can take the boy out of Somerset but you can't take the Somerset out of the boy,Somerset life through and through. 😃😉👍
I have been exploring my genealogy & recently discovered my ancestors left Somerset in the 1600’s for America. Now I am looking to learn more about their home and where I came from ❤ Thank you for sharing!
Mine, as well. I was just visiting still standing ancestral homes from the mid 1600s in Massachusetts. Back then, it must have felt as though they were traveling to Mars: no known society, no establishments or towns, and you probably would never come home again.
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.
I’m in the Merchant Navy. Born is Somerset, lived most of my life in TA4. Travelled the world. Love coming home. A beautiful film that captures the essence of the county.
Was werking in Lincolnshire in the seventies and a bloke making a delivery ask could one of us travel to Somerset to pick up a caravan. My hand was up like a lite as I just wanted to here that accent.
My great-grandmother was a war bride in WWII who moved to the U.S. Her mother's family was just about entirely from Merriott, so that's my distant connection to this lovely countryside
It's weird how Somerset accents vary from place to place. I'm from north Somerset, while this video isn't gibberish I find it fascinating how different it is to my accent. I also think it might be a generation thing as well.
I'd love to see a documentary just on Roger Wilkins. Love the accent and the stories 😊 EDIT: Nevermind, I see Roger has already made his mark on UA-cam 😂
@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.
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.

I live in Somerset born and bred, where abouts did they come from? I’ll help you if I can.
Wonder I'd this may be related to the Monmouth rebellion
My ancestor as well! Richard Sawtell left Aller Somersetshire in 1636.

The hard cider guy has the most American sounding English accent. He pronounces hard r's like an American.
