Saturday 29th January 09:30Steart Marshes TA5 2PU
Distance: 3
Difficulty: Easy
Leader: Liz Greenaway
The next walk on Saturday 29th Jan is to Steart Marshes saltmarsh & wetlands, near Cannington, NW of Bridgwater. Something a bit different and with a very good path surface rather than our recent mud. It is an easy flat walk, approx 3 miles on a surfaced path.
Steart Marshes is a working wetland providing flood defence for local homes and businesses, showcasing productive farmland and home to a thriving nature reserve. It is one of the UKs newest wetlands created just 9 years ago. We can have a gentle amble with stops at the hides to look for over-wintering birds as well as beautiful views over the estuary, interesting views to the Hinkley C construction site plus a willow sculpture trail to look out for.
The site is approx 40mins drive from Taunton (19 miles) - I would suggest going A38 via Bridgwater rather than over the Quantocks as those hilly roads are very narrow. Please allow plenty of time to get there.
It is free to visit. There are toilets at the car park but no other facilities so please bring drinks and snacks. It can be cold as it is exposed near the coast so please bring suitable clothing. Remember to bring your binoculars!
Please use the FB page to ask about car sharing if you want/need/happy to offer a lift. Please only use email to enquire about lifts if you do not have FB access.
There may be an option to do a further walk in a different part of the reserve if anyone wishes to do more on the day. This may take us beyond lunchtime so please ensure you have plenty to eat and drink.
Please see the club wesbite for all info. https://taunton-fitness.uk/walking.php
Hope to see you there next Saturday!
