Two drive itinerary days in our Coxley based Somerset drive week needing serious trimming

Stops are presented in potential drive cycle order. We are seeking editing down, not new area inclusions in what's provided.

Coxley Day 2 Frome/ Stourhead/ Bruton/ Wincanton/ Tintinhull House NT/ Montacute House NT/ Stoke sub Hamden Priory NT/ Martock NT/ Barrington Court/,Ilminster/ Muchelney/ Langport/ Somerton (Coxley self cater return) 105 miles 3hr /12 hours+ consensus drive time

First Day 2 problem A) A bit sadly, we've got to decide on (I imagine a maximum of?) just two of those (having National Trust (NT) and English Heritage (EH) passes) sites among the potential options listed. Ideas for which two to include/drop would be most helpful
B) we look toward trimming other non NT stops with possibly day's total distance factored elsewhere. Ideas on those best potential cuts are most welcome. We sorely need to make this day more manageable.

Coxley Day 4 Stogursey/ Watchet/ (Please note: there is no NO Dunster inclusion which was delightfully done three years ago along with some others unmentioned in that coastal range)/ Selworthy/ Luccombe/ Honicote Estate NT (in Minehead area)/ Washford/ Bicknoller (Coxley self cater return) 105 miles under 4 hours consensus drive time

That day 4's also a potential behemoth as listed and ready for a dose of reality. We'd need running shoes, a helicopter, celebrity front of all lines' privileges and oxygen masks as either day's theoretically now listed.

All good things and thanks!

All I can say is I'm glad you realize you need to trim it down to just a few destinations each day. It's probably best to have no more than 2 hours in the car each day, 2.5 hours tops. You're there to experience England, not the interior of a car.

But hey, lucky you, to have a week in Somerset driving around! I'm sure whatever you choose it will be wonderful!
