Travelling in Taunton with a Rental Car

Take your Taunton car hire and explore this town with your own set itinerary as you seek out the attractions and sights. DriveAway clients are able to collect the rental car from Taunton downtown as the supplier’s offices are located throughout the town. If passengers require an airport collection the closest airport depots are at Bristol and Exeter which are both within an hour’s drive. Buses are very limited in the evening and on Sundays,  a Taunton car hire will be the best option to explore the town with freedom.

Take a short car rental drive to the Hestercombe Gardens which is located only a few minutes from the town centre. The Hestercombe garden is an enchanting place situated on forty acres of woodland. Take your time as you walk through the garden displaying a unique collection of three centuries of garden history. The picturesque gardens show true beauty and bring a tranquil feel. Enjoy the contrast of the flowers with a well-designed pattern throughout the garden.

Visit the Taunton Castle which is a major attraction and Taunton’s most important monument located in the centre of Somerset’s country town. This major attraction has a history dating back to the 12th century, originally a medieval castle of the Bishops of Winchester. This Castle is 15 metres high and 12 metres wide with walls as thick as 4 metres.

Travel with your hire car to the magnificent St Mary Magdalene Church. This church was first built in the 14th century with the tower reaching heights of 50 metres. It is described as ‘the finest in England’. The interior is mesmerizing as the ceiling displays hundreds of carved gilded angels. This is an attraction worth a car rental’s drive to capture the importance and history this building has to offer.

An ancient tradition celebrated on the 18th of October is the Taunton Carnival. This celebration involves a fireworks display and street entertainment. There are a show of numerous floats that can be as big as 50 metres long, covered with vibrant colours and hundreds of lights.
