Let's Walk - Bridgwater and Taunton Canal - Maunsel to Charlton

About this Event

Why not come along and walk, get active, make new friends on one of our walk leader led walks . All you need to do is book in on this free walking session.

This is a varied 5.1 mile (8.2km) level walk. The route takes us along the towpath and includes a section of the 'Solar Walk' (starting at Maunsel Upper Lock), a Lengthman's Hut, Swan Neck, Cogload and Charlton Orchard.

On reaching Charlton, we will return to Maunsel and expect to arrive at the Maunsel Tearooms between 12:30pm and 1pm, where you will be able to purchase refreshments, should you wish.

There are toilet facilities at the Tearooms but not along the towpath.

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

Walk participants should meet at 10:00am at the car park next to the canal, at Banklands Lane, TA7 0DH.
