County whose administrative centre is Taunton (8)

I believe the answer is:

somerset

(Other definitions for somerset that I've seen before include "Southern English county" , "English county in the West Country" , "English territory" , "head over heels" , "Wells's county" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
