This popular cycle route runs along a disused railway line from Chard to Ilminster in Somerset.
The largely traffic free route runs for about 5 miles making it perfect for a family ride. On the way you will pass the lovely Chard Reservoir where you can look out for a wide variety of birdlife. Around Donyatt you\’ll pass the still visible old station and cross the River Isle with some fine countryside views.
The trail makes up a small part of the longer Bridgwater to Chard Cycle Route which will take you along Sustrans National Cycle Route 33 to Bridgwater.
