The Strawberry Line network of paths in Somerset has found a way to speed up planning permission and harness the goodwill of the community

Mostly traffic-free and flat, this route between Yatton and Cheddar takes in old stations and views across the Levels to the Bristol Channel – and it’s being extended to form part of the 76-mile Somerset Circle

WORKS COMMENCE AT WEST SHEPTON

After the opening of two sections of Strawberry Line in and around Shepton Mallet in 2023, construction has finally started today on the missing link through the heart of West Shepton. When complete, the resultant route will offer pedestrians and cyclists of all ages and abilities, as well as users in wheelchairs, on mobility scooters or with walking frames, a safe and attractive route from Collett Park to the outskirts of town, and into open countryside – eventually connecting to the path coming from Wells to create a traffic-free route between the two market towns.

The new path will link the western end of The Sidings to Kent Lane and the Queens Road playground, before gently ramping up at a wheelchair-friendly gradient towards the old railway bridge abutments by the B3136. Here, a new lightweight bridge will be installed, possibly this year, to allow vulnerable users easy access to the recreation ground, skate park, football ground, Scouts hut and rifle club, as well as to the gorgeous path to Ridge Lane. Here, it is National Highways’ ambition to open up one of the old arches under the road, which could take the path all the way to Summerhill Lane (Friars Oven) in the near future.

Wells, here we come!
