A visit to Castle Neroche and the Forest of Neroche will offer you spectacular views over Taunton towards the Quantock Hills and Exmoor and a place to enjoy a stroll with the family. The site was a small settlement over 2600 years ago when it probably supported a small farming and hunting community. In Saxon times, over a thousand years later, the north slope of the hills became an important hunting forest and by the Norman conquests of 1066 the site was an important stronghold, especially during the west country revolts. Located only 20 minutes away from our hotel, this is not to be missed.
