Vivary Park Fountain

Highlight • Rest Area

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.

French Weir

Highlight • Bridge

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 Weir Café

Highlight • Cafe

Great food and coffee, friendly staff, outdoor seating, and bike parking. Also food and drink allergy options, a loyalty card, plus they are dog friendly. If I remember correctly, open every day 10 to 4, possibly different at the weekend.

Pluto Marker – Great Space Walk

Highlight • Monument

You’ll find this shortly after finding the start if the path. I came from Taunton Station and the whole area around the area is undergoing redevelopment so be prepared for some fairly confusing detours to get to the path itself
