Taunton Railway Station is a junction station on the route from London to Penzance, 230 kilometers away from London. The Railway Station is located in Taunton, and is operated by First Great Western. Taunton Railway Station opened on 1 July 1842 as part of Bristol and Exeter Railway.
Over the years, Taunton Railway Station has been modernized and extended and its look is quite different from what it used to be. Taunton offers its tourists a wide array of accommodation: five star hotels, B&B's, inns or cottages. The social venues are also diverse: elegant restaurants where you can enjoy a fine selection of European and Asian food, funky coffee shops where you can enjoy a cup of hot cocoa or a tea, or fun filled nightclubs where you can dance and have fun.

Gray's Almshouses were founded by Robert Gray in 1615 for poor single women. Originally, one of the rooms was used as a chapel and if you go there, you can still see the original benches and the painted ceilings. This brick house draws its uniqueness from the fact that it was one of the earliest brick buildings in the country. It was renovated and presently, it provides nine flats for the elderly people.
