wellington monument sits on the top of the black down hills so be prepared for a big climb from all directions

The church of st Peter is of norman origin and is listed as a Grade 1 building. The Chancel ( area around the Altar ) dates back to the 14th century. The North aisle was added about a century later, but the south porch and vestry were added much alter on in the 1800's. The Church has 6 bells, the oldest dating to the 1400's The crenellated three stage tower has merlons ( Designed slits for observations or firing ) Note on my pictures what appear to be gargoyles, but in fact are actually hunky punks ( grotesque gothic decorations which serve no purpose, unlike Gargoyles which are used a drainage features for water on the roof ).

The Museum cafe is well worth a visit for the cheese scone alone.

Taunton Independent Market, an unexpected find.

Wills neck is the highest summit in the Quantocks hills & one of the highest points in Somerset.

Taunton is a wonderful place to begin or end a run. You could relax and grab a coffee or bite to eat in one of the many great cafés and restaurants, or you could explore the beautiful River Tone or Hestercombe Gardens.

Parts of the church date back to Norman times with the doorway on the south side being the best visible Norman build remaining. The Chancel is 14th century and the tower added in the 1500's. The old sandstone cross in the churchyard is from the 14th century.

Not to be a misery because Ive rode up there myself but it's not a bridle path up to WN so best to not make it public
