About Somerset (England)
Because of several local government reorganisations, the exact definition of the county of Somerset depends on whether you are talking about the modern administrative or the traditional county. This article specifically covers the current administrative county of Somerset, plus the unitary districts of "North Somerset" and "Bath and North East Somerset", which constitute much of the traditional county of Somerset. It does not cover the city ofBristol, which by tradition and in modern times is a county in its own right. A large part of theExmoor National Parkis in Somerset, althoughDevonhas the western part. TheBlackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beautyis also shared withDevonbut two fall entirely withinSomerset. These are theQuantock Hillsand theMendip Hills.
