브래드포드 온 톤 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.

This wonderful parkland on the edge of Taunton was created by local volunteers in team with the parish council and Forestry Commission. More than 5,000 native trees have been planted and it's a haven for wildlife. Perfect for a stroll or as part of a longer walk, there are plenty of paths to explore here.

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.
