Taunton /ˈtɔːntən/ is a large regional town in Somerset, England. The town currently peaks at a population of 69,570 as of 2018. The town itself has over 1,000 years of religious and military history, including a monastery dating back to the 10th century and Taunton Castle, which has origins in the Anglo Saxon period and was later the site of a priory. The Normans then built a stone structured castle, which belonged to the Bishops of Winchester.

I don’t understand how there are any bad reviews for this shop at all, I’m dismayed! The bears are not overpriced in the slightest, they are of high quality, and are the price anyone who knows anything about bears can appreciate. I travelled from Lincoln with my boyfriend to visit the shop, and after an 8 hour all around trip and two nights in a hotel, I’d do it allover again 100 times, just to visit the shop again The staff are Lovely, the bears are priced extremely reasonably, with such a variety of brands, there is something for everyone. Even after visiting, I have exchanged incredibly heart warming emails with the owner, Elaine, who is such a nice lady. If theres one word to describe this shop, Its incredible Thank you, World of Bears
