Parks & Nature
Walking along the canal and river is one of my favourite things in Taunton. Resident swans, kingfishers and dog walkers make it a lovely stroll.

My closest park. Great for dog walking, playing football or taking a child to use the playground facilities. If you're lucky you might see a steam train pass on the way! Especially at the weekends.

Shopping
A locally run co-operative shop where locals sell produce from their gardens, baked goods, crafts, eggs, honey - and you'll never be sure what else! All food producers have to hold a food hygiene certificate. Cakes are excellent value compared with cafes or supermarkets. Get there early for best choice, and check opening hours.
