    I’m from Somerset 💚 Grew up on the outskirts of Taunton & went to school in Wellington. I’ve lived in other parts of the UK & travelled much of the world. Now I live in Australia, but I miss Somerset a lot, the beautiful hills & the lovely, down to earth people. 🥰 My mum was buried in one of those eco coffins!

    I have been exploring my genealogy & recently discovered my ancestors left Somerset in the 1600’s for America. Now I am looking to learn more about their home and where I came from ❤ Thank you for sharing!

    Was werking in Lincolnshire in the seventies and a bloke making a delivery ask could one of us travel to Somerset to pick up a caravan. My hand was up like a lite as I just wanted to here that accent.

    My great-grandmother was a war bride in WWII who moved to the U.S. Her mother's family was just about entirely from Merriott, so that's my distant connection to this lovely countryside

    The hard cider guy has the most American sounding English accent. He pronounces hard r's like an American.

    I work in Bristol but have always lived in North-East Somerset, and yeah it's a really amazing place to be. I'm not that close to Glastonbury, a good thirty minutes away, but have spent a lot of time there as my father was in a nursing home there before he passed. I miss him a lot, but wouldn't have had it any other way. If you've never been, it's worth spending time there at least once. Thanks for making this video.

    My ancestors came from Priddy in Somerset. They emigrated to upstate NY in the 1850s. Hello!

    It's weird how Somerset accents vary from place to place.

    I miss Somerset. Stayed outside Taunton, visited the 7 Sister hill with the wild horses a few years before the pandemic started. Will definitely go back when it is over.
