Bridgwater & Taunton Canal, October 2018, Part 1
With a day off I decided to board a train from Taunton to Bridgwater and cycle back along the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal. Running for 14.5 miles from Bridgwater to Taunton the canal runs through the unique lowland areas of Somerset, of which many parts have been designated a Site of Specific Scientific Interest.
Part 1 takes us through the outskirts of Bridgwater and in to open countryside, passing through Fordgate and North Newton en route to Maunsel Lock

Bridgwater is a market town and civil parish in Somerset, England. Bridgwater is at the edge of the Somerset Levels, in level and well-wooded country; to the north are the Mendips and to the west the Quantock hills.
Bridgwater lies along both sides of the River Parrett, 10 miles (16 km) from its mouth, has been a major port and trading centre and maintains a large industrial base. Bridgwater is linked to Taunton by the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal. Bridgwater is between two junctions of the M5 motorway and Bridgwater railway station is on the main railway line between Bristol and Taunton.
Historically, the town of Bridgwater had a politically radical tendency. The Battle of Sedgemoor, where the Monmouth Rebellion was finally crushed in 1685, was fought nearby. Notable buildings include the Church of St Mary and the house in Blake Street, largely restored, which was the birthplace of Admiral Blake in 1598, and is now the Blake Museum. The town of Bridgwater has an arts centre and plays host to the annual Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival.
Bridgwater is home to the Somerset Brick and Tile Museum, built on part of the former Barham Brothers site (brick and tile manufacturers between 1857 and 1965). Castle House was built in 1851 and was one of the first to make extensive use of concrete demonstrating an innovative interpretation of traditional masonry features in concrete.
A house in Blake Street, largely restored, is believed to be the birthplace of Robert Blake in 1598, and is now the Blake Museum. It was built in the late 15th or early 16th century, and has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building. His statue from 1898 by F. W. Pomeroy has been repositioned from the front of the Corn Exchange to face down Cornhill. The public library by E Godfrey Page dates from 1905.
Sydenham House was previously a manor estate built in the early 16th century, which was refronted and rebuilt after 1613. Its owners were on the losing side in the Civil War and again in the Monmouth Rebellion.
As trade expanded during the Industrial Revolution, Bridgwater was linked to Taunton by the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal (1827), although initially it ran from a basin south of Bridgwater at Huntworth. The Drove Bridge, which marks the current extent of the Port of Bridgwater is the nearest to the mouth and the newest road bridge to cross the river. With a span of 184 feet (56 m), the bridge was constructed as part of the Bridgwater Northern Distributor road scheme (1992), and provides a navigable channel which is 66 feet (20 m) wide with 8.2 feet (2.5 m) headroom at normal spring high tides.

Travel Blog: UK Places - Bridgwater, Somerset
this UK Places episode features Bridgwater, a small to medium size town on the Parrett, in the past a trading port with ships visiting the quay to offload wine, wood, wool and to take stone away.
There was a medieval castle made of red brick, now long gone but remnants are still part of some buildings.
It is famous for being the home of Admiral Blake, a seafarer said to be more famous and beneficial to the navy than Nelson.

Bridgwater & Taunton Canal, October 2018, Part 2
With a day off I decided to board a train from Taunton to Bridgwater and cycle back along the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal. Running for 14.5 miles from Bridgwater to Taunton the canal runs through the unique lowland areas of Somerset, of which many parts have been designated a Site of Specific Scientific Interest.
Part 2 continues from Maunsel Lock towards Taunton, passing through Creech St Michael and Bathgate before arriving at Firepool Lock, where the canal joins the River Tone. Shortly before arrival into Taunton the canal passes under the railway bridge, at which my arrival is perfectly timed with 60103 'Flying Scotsman' passing overhead on a charter.
