Taunton has over 1000 years of interesting and mixed
history and most can be seen viewed or visited throughout
the Town Centre. But before you visit why not take a look
at our brief history of Taunton covering the most poignant
times in Taunton's past.
One of the most quaint areas for specialist art and
crafts, food and hobbies, is Bath Place. Situated just off
the High Street this well loved part of town will make any
resident or visitor return again and again. Find out why?
Open green spaces are important in every town and you will
find that Vivary Park plays an active role within our town
centre. Designed in Victorian times this park, with our
summer events, history and services, will draw you even
closer to the charm of Taunton itself and has over six
activities for all ages.
