Did you know that Somerset has one of the oldest engineered roads in the
world? Or that a future king of England almost fell to his death in
Cheddar Gorge? Or that Glastonbury Abbey was the last in the country to
close at the Dissolution?
There's so much to find out in this little book that's big on facts.
Starting from the earliest times when prehistoric man made his home in
the county we would come to later know as Somerset, to the more recent
impact of the world wars and boundary changes, this history is highly
accessible and addictive reading.
