Somerset is big and beautiful - the UK’s 12th largest county it includes the rolling hills of Exmoor, the Mendips, the Quantocks and the Levels and a glorious coastline.
The County offers the perfect balance between preserving traditional values in life and business and succeeding in the fast-moving 21st Century. More than 20,000 people a year migrate into Somerset. Most are aged between 25 and 44 with families. They relocate for the beautiful countryside and coastline, to settle in friendly market towns with character and architectural heritage and to provide a first-class education for their children while avoiding long commutes.
For those moving from London and the South East, housing is around 30% cheaper in Somerset and low crime rates make it one of the safest counties in England.
At the same time, Somerset is strategically placed at the heart of the West Country and within easy reach of the cosmopolitan cities of Exeter, Bristol, Bath and Wells. It is less than two hours by train from London and the Midlands and offers a choice of regional international airports serving domestic, European and global markets.
