Taunton's Norman castle was the scene of many bitter struggles during the Civil War of 1642, and again in 1685 when Judge Jeffreys held a "Bloody Assize" there. This resulted in 508 supporters of the Duke of Monmouth being condemned to death. The castle retains part of its thick walled keep and the 120 ft long great hall where Judge Jeffreys presided.
Today the castle is host to the Museum of Somerset. The museum tells the story of Somerset from prehistory to the present day, with information on local geology, archaeology, medieval and ethnography. Exhibits include the Frome Hoard (large collection of Roman coins), the 4th-c. Low Ham Mosaic (detailing the tragic love story of Dido and Aeneas), a Plesiosaur skeleton, a Shrunken Head and Judge Jeffreys' medical bill. The museum also contains the Somerset Military Museum.
Alongside its permanent galleries the museum offers a regularly changing series of exhibitions and activities such as family drop-in sessions, plus a programme of special events, including evening talks, music and outdoor theatre.

The historic steam locomotives, coaches and wagons, and the buildings of the ten unique stations linked by a twenty mile scenic journey will repay hours of exploration. The surrounding countryside is as varied as it is beautiful.
The gently rolling Quantock hills and distant Exmoor, unspoilt villages and farms nestling in leafy lanes, the cliffs and coast of the Bristol Channel with views of distant South-Wales, confident Church Towers, Dunster's imposing Castle and Minehead's seaside charm are all waiting to be discovered.
