Wellington
has a long history first recorded in 899, then known as Weolingtun, which means
"wealthy estate". A royal charter of 1215 gave Wellington its status
as a town, and during the medieval period it grew as a centre for trade on the
road from Bristol to Exeter. Wellington gave its name to the first Duke of
Wellington, Arthur Wellesley and nearby Wellington Hill boasts a large, spotlit
obelisk to his honour, the Wellington Monument.
In a County of wide open spaces, steeped in culture and history, there
are just so many things to do in Somerset you will find yourself spoilt for
choice. Somerset is perhaps best known for its attractions, days out, carnivals
and festivals such as the world famous event at Glastonbury. The County is rich
in wildlife and ranks among the UK’s top places.
