Tucked into the Somerset hills but easily accessible from London, Bristol and Bath by train, Bruton is a great little place for a cheeky day trip. The teeny town is one of our top hidden foodie destinations in the UK, and has long attracted attention for its arty vibe and luxe places to stay.  As well as the cultural delights of the town, the opportunity to get into nature is always calling at this Somerset hideaway. Look above to see the Bruton Dovecote, a National Trust-enshrined tower, which you can tramp up to via allotments and charming stonework. So without further ado, here are the best things to do in Bruton.  RECOMMENDED:🏉 The best things to do in Bath🏙️ The best things to do in Bristol🌤️ The best day trips from London🎭 The best places to visit in the UK Natalie Paris is a writer based in Bath, Somerset who often visits Bruton. At Time Out, all of our travel guides are written by local writers who know their cities inside out.
