Taunton in General

**Introduction** When I was coming up to 500 reviews I had a think about what review I would do to mark my 500 milestone of reviews. I then decided to review my home town of Taunton which I have lived in apart from six years of my life when I lived in Yeovil between the ages of 2 and 8. When had decided I was reviewing Taunton I wanted to do something a little different to the 5 reviews already on here for Taunton. Obviously there will be some things which will obviously be similar when talking about the town but anyway here is my review of Taunton. **County Town** Taunton is the County Town of Somerset which means it is the base of the ...  Read the complete review

After reading a previous review I think I need to write something myself about Taunton I was born there and lived in Taunton until about 8 years ago when I moved down to Plymouth - apart from 2 years spent studying in Coventry. Taunton is the county town of Somerset and it is very much linked to its market and farming traditions as it's totally surrounded by farmland. Nighlife is pretty much non-existant apart from many bars and a nighclub situated across the road from the railway station. It has 1 main road strewn with shops - but is split into sections (by road names - from station road to north street, to east street to east ...  Read the complete review

one of my friends lives in taunton now and i've been down to visit her a couple of times. it's situated well, just off the m5 which is very useful for travelling back and forth. the town itself is quite pretty, but a little outdated. the nightlife is mediocre at best, it has to be said, with a wetherspoons and a lloyds bar making up most of the entertainment. the housing prices are fairly steady, and there is a variety of places to eat and drink, and the high street has a good selection of shops. with a lick of paint and a few art sculptures taunton could come out of the 80s and really give bristol and places a run for their money.

I have lived in Taunton for almost Two years now. It has alot to offer people both for visits, holidays or as their residential town. It has great scenery with Vivary park a stones throw from the town centre, and a great night life for people of all ages. The town is good for shopping with many big high street names to chose from and also small local shops specialising in an aray of interesting genres! Eating out in Taunton is always a treat with many fine establishments to choose from. Ranging from fine cuisine for that Romantic meal - to MacDonalds to keep the children happy! Taunton also has a wide assortment of Pubs, Bars and Clubs to visit. ...  Read the complete review

I currently live in Taunton and all i can say is there are certainly worse places to live! Taunton is host to a good shopping centre with an array of well known high street stores as well as some independant ones that can be found down side streets. The Shopping centre consists of one long street broken up by a round about in the centre and also two other streets. As well as shopping Taunton is host to several public houses including a weatherspoons which is extremely popular due to the cheap prices of food and drink. The night life consists of the several pubs and two night clubs, Shout and Dellas Wharf. There are two major car parks in Taunton ...  Read the complete review
