The Beautiful Polden Hills

The King William Inn sits in the heart of the Polden Hills. This tranquil rural landscape is renowned for its picturesque villages, rolling farmland, nature reserves and spectacular panoramic views across the Somerset Levels. The areas’ quiet country lanes, public footpaths and bridleways are just waiting to be explored. .

The Somerset Levels & Avalon Marshes

Just beyond the Polden Hills lie the internationally important Somerset Levels and the Avalon Marshes, famous for their rich wildlife, wetlands and open landscapes. Throughout the year, visitors come to enjoy birdwatching, and photography, as the area is home to an exceptional network of nature reserves, making it one of the UK’s finest destinations for wildlife enthusiasts.

Experience the Starling Murmurations

From late autumn through to early spring, the Somerset Levels become home to one of Britain’s most spectacular natural events – the breathtaking starling murmurations. As dusk approaches, hundreds of thousands of starlings gather to create mesmerising aerial displays before settling to roost for the night. Some of the best places to witness this unforgettable spectacle are the RSPB Ham Wall, Shapwick Heath National Nature Reserve and Westhay Moor National Nature Reserve, all within a short drive from the King William

After an afternoon exploring the reserves or an evening watching the murmurations, the King William Inn is the perfect place to warm up with a delicious meal, a locally brewed drink and a welcoming Somerset atmosphere.
