Nestling on the leeward edge of the Blackdown Hills in South Somerset The Five Dials Inn is very close to East Devon and West Dorset, so you would find it hard to discover a better location to enjoy all the benefits the West Country has to offer.

A half hour drive will take you to Dorset's Jurrasic Coast famous for fossils, Lyme Regis and of course the legendary Broadchurch TV series filmed on location at West Bay and the dramatic cliffs along towards Burton Bradstock.

The Blackdown Hills are a great place to explore for walking and wildlife with Castle Neroche Iron Age Hill Fort sitting atop a dramatic escarpment. The Somerset Levels are a fifteen minute drive away all set close to the delightful array of picturesque villages and market tows which populate this attractive corner of England.

Half an hour in a westerly direction takes you across the Devon border to colourful seaside tows like Beer, Branscombe and Sidmouth.
