Donyatt Halt Records for Donyatt Halt state: "This halt, opened on May 5th, 1928, has a single platform edged with wooden sleepers, and a small wooden shelter. A pathway leads up from the platform to the road, which crosses the line by an overbridge at the Ilminster end of the platform. An ornate oil lamp stands at the top of the path and there are various posts with brackets for hanging oil lamps in winter." It would be the guard's duty to light and extinguish these lamps. Five trains a day operated in each direction taking about 45 minutes for the 15 - mile journey from Taunton to Chard, having made stops at Thornfalcon, Hatch, Ilton, Ilminster and Donyatt.

Combe St Nicholas is a picturesque village surrounded by rolling hills and meadows and featuring an ancient church and traditional thatched cottages.

Great traffic free pass for multi-sport use

Chard Reservoir is no longer used as a commercial reservoir but is managed as a nature reserve. A lovely, peaceful spot to stop and watch the water birds.

Built in 1842 to provide water for the local canal this is now a nature reserve and fishing lake managed by South Somerset District Council.

Nice statue of a girl waiting for the train that will never come along the well maintained gravel track but some sharp changes in direction make the run from ilminster to chard confusing if you expect to be on the old railway tracks

My favourite section of the stopline way, an easy chilled ride, particularly stunning in the summer but monumentally busy exactly when you think it would be.

Good place to include it on your trip ..
