I travelled down to Somerset from Essex in the pouring rain on a Friday afternoon but was pleasantly met, just over three hours later, by sunshine and blue skies in the village of Nunney, located completely off the beaten track down a winding lane, past quaint country cottages, a babbling brook and waddling ducks. As I drove down the hill, I could clearly see Nunney Castle dominating the skyline, and couldn’t wait to take a closer look!
For the latter part of the afternoon, I quickly dashed to my all-time favourite City of Bath to window-shop and also, to my great delight, buy some very good, traditional Maltese delicacies which, I am very pleased to say, are now available from the Cafe Au Lait outlets – all the way from Malta!
“Children, dogs and muddy boots are most welcome!”
If you need a family countryside get-away-from-it-all weekend, with lots nearby to see and do whilst also taking in beautiful scenery, I can highly recommend Nunney!
