Indigo Archery

You'll find Indigo Archery tucked away near Mells in Somerset, a proper working archery venue where you can actually have a go rather than just watch. It's the sort of place that either appeals to you immediately or passes you by entirely - there's not much middle ground. The range offers instruction for beginners through to experienced archers, so you're not walking in needing to know your nocking point from your draw weight. Most people will spend a couple of hours here, which is plenty of time to shoot a decent session and feel like you've accomplished something. It's ideal if you've got teenagers who need taking out of their phones, or if you're the type who enjoys learning a new skill on holiday. Children younger than about ten might find it a bit dull standing around watching adults take turns, though many venues offer junior sessions if you book ahead. The whole thing comes together nicely as an add-on to a break based at Glamping on the Hill, just over two miles away. That's close enough for a morning or afternoon activity without it eating into your full day. Worth checking their website or calling ahead for current opening hours and prices, as these smaller sports venues can shift their schedules seasonally. On a decent Somerset afternoon, you could combine this with a walk around Mells itself - it's a proper little village with some character.
