Somerset is a ceremonial and non-metropolitan county in South West England. It borders Bristol and Gloucestershire to the north, Wiltshire to the east, Dorset to the south-east, and Devon to the south-west. Somerset has a mild climate, damper than that of counties situated further east, but drier and more bracing than that of Devon and Cornwall. The surface is for the most part hilly, but only Dunkery Beacon exceeds by a very little 1,700 feet, so that we look in vain for any trace of a distinctively mountain flora. Great levels, hardly above sea level, border the rivers Brue and Parrett, and stretch from the Bristol Channel to the base of Mendip.
