The Hauser & Wirth gallery opened its space in Bruton in 2014 and has a fun restaurant, Roth Bar & Grill. It’s the kind of place I go to when I have family staying. Usually we’ll order steak, which is aged in its salt chamber.

Beautiful walks in the woods, that leads to a gorge and waterfall...with a few rope swings on the way! Takes about 40 minutes to walk here from the cottage.
Directions: Turn Left out of the cottage, and left again onto to the High street, walk for 2 minutes until you see the mini roundabout and The Red Lion. Walk through the pub car park, at the end is a footpath leading down to tennis courts and then eventually a football pitch. Approximately 10 minutes.
Follow the path till the end and turn right onto an old track.
Follow the track till you reach the woods, cross over a small footbridge, and then after a minute you'll reach a beautiful disused railway track.
Turn Left on the railway track and just keep walking. After 10 or 15 minutes you'll come to a road. Cross the road, and follow the footpath signs in between 2 houses, into open fields. Follow footpath signs into the woods and you;ll see the river, a clearing which is beautiful for picnics and has a rope swing. Follow upstream in the woods and you'll find the waterfall!
