Hello, I’m Claire – welcome to Somerset Family Adventures! We’re a family of five from Somerset who love exploring, adventuring, and sharing inspiration for family-friendly days out both close to home and across the UK.

On the blog, you’ll find plenty of ideas for family days out in Somerset, from seasonal events and local festivals to dog-friendly walks, child-friendly pubs, farm shops, and hidden gems that make this county so special. Discover what’s on in Somerset throughout the year, the best family-friendly attractions and days out.

In 2024, we welcomed a lively Cocker Spaniel into our family, so alongside family adventures, we also share our favourite dog-friendly places to visit, stay, and explore.

But our journeys don’t stop at the county border – we also love travelling further afield around the UK (and beyond), discovering the best family-friendly and dog-friendly destinations, campsites, and experiences along the way.

Somerset Family Adventures is here to be your trusted guide, making it easier to plan unforgettable days out, stress-free holidays, and fun family moments wherever you are.
