Spring Staycation in Somerset

Let’s talk about Spring in the UK…

The moment when we begin to see the sunshine again… when we hear birdsong and notice signs of new life… where flowers bloom and grass returns to it’s lushest green. Brighter mornings and crisp evenings… sunrises and sunsets… Summer is on its way—the best time of year has begun.

What makes Spring staycations the best?

  1. Shoulder season perks

  2. Comfortable temperatures

  3. Beautiful scenery

What is shoulder season?

Shoulder season is the period just before or after peak holiday times—in the UK, that’s typically March through May for spring. It’s when the crowds are smaller, destinations feel peaceful, and the best part: prices are lower than peak times, making it a great opportunity for a spring staycation without breaking the bank. Whether you’re exploring charming villages, wandering through the countryside, or relaxing in a cosy lodge, shoulder season gives you more space, calm, and value.

 

Spring Things to Do

  1. Fishing at Chew Valley Lakes – a peaceful, serene spot for those that enjoy the slower pace of life. Don’t miss out on the incredible fish and chips onsite at Salt & Malt —the perfect post-fishing treat..
  2. Exploring Cheddar Gorge – Spring is a magical time to explore the Gorge. Spot the famous Gorge Goats, discover the rare Cheddar Pink flower, and enjoy breath-taking views of the surrounding countryside.
  3. Westhay Nature Reserve – A wildlife haven all year round, but particularly spectacular in spring. Listen out for the booming bitterns, and see tens of thousands of overwintering birds before they head back north.
  4. Visit the many baby lambs popping up on local farms – Somerset certainly has an abundance of farm life.
  5. Farrington’s Farm – fun for all the family with on site café, butchers and farm shop. They have some wonderful Spring features coming up.
  6. Bishops Palace, Wells – see the stunning medieval Palace, with its 14 acres of RHS partner gardens.
