Frome has a wonderful independent monthly market (the first Sunday of every month). But the rest of the time the creative and individual sellers can be found on Catherine Hill - a beautiful cobbled street hosting various clothes, toy and art shops and some wonderful cafes.

Arts & Culture
This is must for anyone visiting the area. Glastonbury has a rich, mythical history and the Tor is the symbol of this vibrant heritage. Also considered to be the heart chakra of the world! It is fairly easy to climb - 10-15 minutes to the top. And has the most extraordinary views. It is also worth visiting Chalice Wells at the foot of the Tor, and the White Spring if it is open.
