Somerset

Somerset is a traditional county in the English West Country. It is the location of Glastonbury, often equated with the Isle of Avalon. It is most famous for its cider, which is appropriate, as 'Avalon' means 'island of apples'.

To the north, Somerset borders Gloucestershire, with the city of Bristol straddling the border between the two. Wiltshire lies to the east, Dorset to the south-east and Devon to the south-west. The Bristol Channel to the north-west separates Somerset from South Wales.
