Lying in the heart of Taunton, Somerset's county town, this stunning castle is a Grade I-listed building. Once part of a vast estate comprising thousands of acres, kings have visited, sieges have battered its walls and its Great Hall has been used as a court of law.

Today, you can visit the castle and its fascinating museum. You'll also find a cafe there because no English castle is complete without a slice of cake.

The Weir Café

Highlight • Cafe

Great food and coffee, friendly staff, outdoor seating, and bike parking. Also food and drink allergy options, a loyalty card, plus they are dog friendly. If I remember correctly, open every day 10 to 4, possibly different at the weekend.
