Somerset Village

Somerset Village sits at the western end of Bermuda, a small settlement of shops and houses around a main street with the water never far on either side, and it has always been the quiet counterweight to St George's at the other end of the island. The Railway Trail passes through it, the ferry from Hamilton calls at the wharf, and Somerset Bridge and Fort Scaur are both a short distance away.

What's there

• The village street - the small run of shops and houses at the centre.
• The ferry wharf - the landing for the service from Hamilton.
• The Railway Trail - the old line passing through the village.
• The western position - the far end of the island from St George's.

When to go

March to November is the most comfortable. The ferry runs to a seasonal timetable. Hurricane season runs June to November.

Before you go

The village is very small and an hour covers it. Many shops have closed in recent years. The ferry timetable is reduced in winter.

Nearby

Somerset Bridge is south, and the Dockyard is north.
