브래드포드 온 톤 주변 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Gravel beach next to the Tone. The water is clear and fast flowing, home to trout and grayling.

I can't remember walking under a pylon before. A blue sky would make the view up the inside even more spectacular.

Undercover seating and tables

Undercover seating, but it can get messy with litter at school holidays

Heading south across the stones it's a steep rooty climb up to the footpath, with a duck under a rail thrown in.

And you get a free Bonio for your canine companion, or you can buy them a 'pup cup' or treat from the counter.

A free to use dog agility park in Longrun Meadow

Great dog friendly café with outdoor tables, friendly staff and loyalty cards.

I'm sure this dog agility only, as the obstacles will need 100% commitment if you're on a bike!

Taunton's fantastic Vivary Park is a wonderful place to take a stroll and find peace and quiet. The park has a little bit of everything, from manicured flower beds and graceful shelters to fountains and well-kept lawns, the park is of late-Victorian origin. For families, there's mini golf and a play park as well as a cafe and facilities.

There's been a weir on the River Tone here since the 13th century but, due to flooding, multiple iterations have been destroyed. Today, the weir is rather more stable and makes for an eye-catching feature on the river, next to its eponymous park. You can cross the weir on foot or bicycle.

The Grade II-listed bridge crosses the River Tone between Tone Green and Bradford-on-Tone. That's a lot of Tones. And the bridge has been here a lot of years too, thought to date back at least to the 15th century, possibly longer. Lying in a particularly tranquil spot, this is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and has two, picturesque arches. Several footpaths pass nearby, two up and down the riverbanks and more fanning out in different directions.

Flowing 21 miles (33 km) from Beverton Pond in the Brendon Hills to Clatworthy Reservoir, the Tone is a beautiful river flowing through the heart of Somerset. Once used as a transport route, the river was important during the industrial revolution, especially as its water was used to power mills. Today, you will find varied wildlife living along the river such as otters and kingfishers.
