Overview

This is a linear walk following the course of the Grand Western Canal between Wellington and Taunton. We will catch a train to Taunton station, walk to Castle Street and then travel by bus to Wellington. We then follow the canal back to Taunton except for the last mile or so where we will walk on the track bed of a lost tramway. I will confirm train and bus times nearer the time.
