Other attractions in Somerset include not only some of the best beaches in England but Cheddar Caves and Gorge, Glastonbury Abbey where King Arthur is reputed to be buried, Exmoor National Park and lots of local markets selling homemade produce. Cider and cheese are famous in Somerset and Taunton's market day each Thursday is an ideal place to see and buy them.
