From Somerton we travel on to MARTOCK, this looks as though it could be a great centre to stay in to travel out from each day, there is so much to do and see in the area.  A 15th Century Church, 13th Century Treasurers House (National Trust) no pics, the Georgian Market House (no pics), 15th Century George Inn, Montacute House, Tintinhull House & Gardens, Muchelney Abbey (no pics), East Lambrooke Manor (no pics), Ham Hill Country Park, and Stoke-sub-Hamdon Priory (no pics).  (It looks as though we need some more photographers to visit this area and fill in the missing pics)
