Bathpool canal car park, at the end of Dyers Lane, Taunton, TA2 8BZ. The What3Words location reference is: theme.october.geek

This is a varied walk from Bathpool to Firepool Lock, stopping for a short break at Morrisons in Taunton.

The actual route taken will depend on the weather and conditions underfoot on the day of the walk. The aim is to walk along the towpath to Firepool Lock, and then onto Morrisons for a short break, with the intention of returning via the River Tone along the public footpath. However, if conditions underfoot prevent this, then we will return via the towpath.

The walk starts from Bathpool Canalside car park, at the end of Dyers Lane, Bathpool, Taunton TA2 8BZ.

There is a café and toilet facilities at Morrisons.
