Somerton Town Square
Taunton
09:30 – 15:30
For the slightly more ambitious but not particularly hilly. Loo stop in Langport if needed and a 5 minute sightsee of Muchelney Ruins from the back of the churchyard. A less travelled route to Somerton via Knole, refreshments at cafe. The run from Somerton to Middlezoy via Wearne and Aller should have a good tailwind. Bring a snack as the churchyard in North Curry has particularly scenic views and a bench but some may prefer the community cafe.
