About The Somerset Levels
The Somerset Levels are steeped in history, with archaeological discoveries that bear witness to its ancient inhabitation. The area is renowned for the famous prehistoric trackway: the Sweet Track, which dates back to 3807 BC, making it one of the oldest engineered roads in Britain. Originally constructed from timber, it connected communities across the once swampy terrain. The Levels have been shaped significantly over the centuries by various drainage schemes and have seen a host of historical events unfold, each leaving its own mark on this unique landscape.
