Once part of a bustling railway line that served the Taunton to Chard route, the Ilminster Greenway is now a tranquil escape into nature. This multi-use path offers a traffic-free route for walkers, runners, and cyclists of all ages.
The Greenway begins near Station Road and winds its way through countryside rich with wildlife. In spring and summer, wildflowers bloom along the verges, and birdwatchers may spot robins, wrens, and the occasional buzzard overhead.
Interpretive boards along the route tell the story of Ilminster's railway past, with vintage photographs and insights into the engineering behind the line.
The trail is well-maintained, mostly flat, and ideal for a family outing or solo reflection. Benches and picnic spots offer perfect resting points.
