The Great Somerset Walk

Sunday 12th May - Taunton to Yeovil

What better way to herald the arrival of spring and banish the remnants of these last cold weeks than with a walk on paths threading their way through the lush Somerset countryside, taking in the sights, sounds and smells of a day in early May?

St. Margaret’s Hospice is inviting you to join their Great Somerset Walk on Sunday 12th May. It offers a perfect day out for all the family, including the dog, with routes ranging from just four miles right up to the full 34 mile distance between the hospices in Taunton and Yeovil. You can walk at your own pace, and begin your walk from a choice of nine different starting points between Yeovil and Taunton.

Registration is just £5 per adult walker and children under 16 walk free.
