Somerset Coal Canal

The Coal Canal is a canal under restoration. It starts from the junction of the Kennet and Avon canal at Limpley Stoke, Brassknocker basin and follows the Cam valley though Midford, Combe hay where it ascends a flight of 22 locks and on to Dunkerton, Camerton, Radford and ends at the Paulton/Timsbury basins. There was also a southern line that went from Midford across an aqueduct and ended at Radstock, this part of the canal was short lived in part to a lack of water and was superseded with a tramway.

From the Methodist Church

The Lent cross was once our Christmas tree. During Advent it stood at the front of Church decorated with lights to help us in our preparations and celebrations of the birth of Jesus. It has now been stripped of its branches and turned into a Lent cross.
Each week in Lent we will bring a symbol of the last week of Jesus’ life and put it at the foot of the cross.

Toad Crossings

Signs are up ready for this season! But the toads have taken advantage of the mild weather and have already started crossing particularly between Purnell’s Sports Ground and Goosard Bridge. - on Tuesday over 70 live toads (and a few frogs and a newt) were found, who were all keen to get to the ponds to start mating. Please take care and slow down for amphibians so that we give them a better chance of breeding successfully.
