Taunton is a bustling county town dating back to Saxon times, nestling on the banks of the river Tone. It has a turbulent past and featured in many bloody uprising, the most famous being the Monmouth Rebellion of 1685, which ended in Judge Jeffereys' infamous 'Bloody Assize' which was held in the great hall of the castle. Such was the town's reputation that Queen Victoria allegedly drew the curtains of the train as she passed through!
Dominating all is the parish church of St Mary Magdalene with its superbly decorated tower, the highest in Somerset. Starting here, follow the Taunton Heritage Trail around the centre and discover the town's architectural gems and its hidden corners.
