The Somerset Coal Canal once carried coal from nearby coal fields to the Kennet and Avon Canal. It was defunct by the turn of the 20th century and was drained, leaving behind fascinating, overgrown remnants of which this pretty bridge is one. Somerset is littered with history, from lime kilns to old bridges and it makes for a wonderful adventure to find its hidden treasures.
