'Chocolate-box' West Country village among UK's best that you've probably never heard of

A stunning village, less than an hour's drive from Bristol, has been named among "Britain's 30 greatest villages", according to the Telegraph. Underrated Mells, near Frome, has been highlighted by the newspaper for its beautiful streets and 'cool old pub'.

The list has been compiled as travel experts at The Telegraph revealed their favourite "unspoilt villages". They have scoured the nation for villages "untouched by mass tourism", reports Somerset Live. Another West Country spot making it into the prestigious list included Shaldon, in Devon.

And the small village is also a hit with some of the biggest stars across the globe. The likes of David Beckham, Courtney Cox and Ruby Wax have all drank in the local pub.
