Mere is an excellent base for a short break - nestling beneath the Downs it is steeped in history and full of secrets and surprises. While you take up your literary pursuits, the rest of the family can explore, climb Castle Hill, walk on White Sheet Nature Reserve, go clay pigeon shooting, fly hawks on Mere Down, walk at nearby Stourhead Gardens or visit Longleat House.
