Somerset Rural Life Museum

Somerset Rural Life Museum Review

Occupying a Victorian farmhouse and a 14th-century abbey tithe barn, this museum tells the story of life in Somerset. More than 90 feet in length, the barn once stored the one-tenth portion of the town's produce that was owed to the church. Exhibits illustrate 19th-century farming practices, and there's a cider-apple orchard nearby. Events designed for children take place most weekends during school holidays. For a good walk, take the scenic footpath from the museum that leads up to the tor, a half mile east.
