County in SW England whose county town is Taunton (8)

I believe the answer is:

somerset

(Other definitions for somerset that I've seen before include "County of Wells, Taunton, Weston-super-Mare, etc." , "Rome's set up in this English county" , "Old English county" , "County of southern England" , "English territory" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
