Taunton is the county town of Somerset, with over 1,000 years of religious and military history, its name comes from "Town on the River Tone", which is the river that flows through the town.

As one of the Government's "Strategically important towns or cities", Taunton has received funding for a number of large-scale regeneration projects, which have further established the town as a major business destination in the South West. Taunton has excellent shopping and leisure facilities, with a number of indoor shopping complexes, high street multiples and quality independent shops, as well as restaurants and cafes.
