Let's Walk - Bridgwater and Taunton Canal - Canalside Conference Centre to Fordgate.

This is a varied walk which is relatively level. The route takes us from the car park, where we will walk to the River Parrett & follow the public footpath along the river bank towards Huntworth. After a short section along Huntworth Lane we will join the towpath to Fordgate. We will then return to The Canalside via the towpath.

Participants should meet at 10:00am at the Canalside Conference Centre, Marsh Lane, Bridgwater, TA6 6LQ.

The walk is just over 5 miles (8 kms) and we expect to be back at the Midas Coffee Lounge by 1pm.

There is a cafe & toilet facilities at the conference centre.

This walk is not suitable for wheelchair or mobility scooter users.
