Fairways Holiday Park

Somerset Space Walk

Explores an imaginative scaled model of the solar system along flat canal towpaths near Bridgwater, with planet markers spaced at astronomical distances. Ideal for families with buggies and young children—entirely level terrain on well-maintained paths. Dogs welcome on leads. Makes a surprisingly engaging way to grasp cosmic scale while enjoying peaceful waterside walking, though the full route spans roughly 11km if you're visiting all planets from Mercury to Pluto.

River Parrett Trail

Follows the River Parrett for 80km from its source in the Dorset hills to Bridgwater Bay, mostly flat with gentle inclines near the source. Suitable for sections with older children but not buggies—expect stiles, gates and uneven riverside paths. Dogs welcome throughout. Takes you through quintessential Somerset wetlands, historic villages and RSPB reserves, with excellent birdwatching opportunities and riverside pubs along the way.

Samaritans Way South West

Spans 166km across Somerset and Wiltshire, linking Bristol Channel to Salisbury Plain through rolling farmland, canal towpaths, and modest hills with occasional steep sections. Not suitable for buggies due to stiles, uneven terrain, and length between access points, though individual day sections work well for older children who enjoy multi-hour walks. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Offers a genuine long-distance challenge with varied landscapes, historic villages, and peaceful countrysid
