Bradford on Tone is an attractive village perched on a ridge above the River Tone. The village complete with shop and the White Horse Inn, retains much of its rural character with thatched cottages. Wellington is a friendly town set in a wide valley between the beautiful Blackdown Hills, seven miles west of Taunton on the River Tone. The village has been extended during the past century and at its western edge on a small hillock stands the church of St. Mary whose tower, beautifully illuminated at night, is a landmark for miles around. Its present name relates to the brick well at the heart of the village.

Distances by road will be longer. Almost 200 years ago, Coldharbour Mill started work spinning wool and worsted yarn. Sited in a Devon valley, the biggest change the old mill saw in two centuries was the arrival of steam power in 1865. The museum houses an exhibition of the history of this ancient seaport and the surrounding area from prehistoric times to the present day. Few buildings evoke such an immediate feeling of history as Tiverton Castle.
