"The sun was out, the day was glorious & I found the Somerset village of Nunney. What a stunning, hidden away gem is this place. It looks like a film set. A castle with a moat, a beautiful bubbling river, one pub, one shop & in defiance of modern life ... no obvious car park. It has a sense of knowing it's perfect, letting you look & expecting you to move on soon. I suspect this is still a real village & not an abandoned tourist trap. The houses will be out of the reach of the average person & maybe it has its fair share of holiday lets but to an outsider, its stunningly beautiful, not over crowded or commercialised. I broke the golden rule of tight fisted OAPs & bought a lunch in The George. OK it was probably inexpensive by southern standards but it was worth every penny.
The George at Nunney Inn, next to the church dates from the mid 18th century & is a Grade II listed building. It's cliental did not seem to have any monetary problems. They sounded like retired ex-pats & their ladies or the landed gentry, far back accents & loud voices. My lunch of an enormous baguette stuffed with local sausages, a lovely side salad & rough crisps. It was enough for the whole day. (In fact, my tea ended up as a vastly inferior sandwich & a little fruit sneaked into the Travelodge). If I could afford it, it's the sort of Inn I'd love to centre any Somerset trip.
An utterly delightful place. Sit by the river & listen to the sounds of an English village in warm summer sun ... no wonder a visit will be longer than you think."
