Bridge Over the River Frome, Frome Valley Walkway

Highlight • River

Make sure to take notice of the beautiful ferns on route to bridge & go down the ramp to small path along the riverside

Tip by

3.04 km

This is a gorgeous old bridge along the Frome Valley Walkway. It's small, but ideally placed to have a sit & watch some ducks if they're there! It sits just along from the Huckford Quarry Reserve section. There are some local wild Otters here, too! So, if you're out early or late, keep your eyes peeled

Huckford Viaduct

Highlight • Monument

3.51 km

View of the Viaduct from the River Path

Highlight • River

A muddy, windy, rooty footpath that follows the river. You’ll need to be able to get your bike thru kissing gates. Quiet and full of wildlife, the trees clear to reveal the railway ahead. Best done on a quiet weekday as it’s really for walkers.

Overgrown Path

Los of stingers, beware. Fun though if you want to feel alive!
