Do you have a New Year’s Resolution to get more active?  Walking is a great way to get fit, explore what’s on your doorstep and make new friends whilst enjoying the beautiful South Somerset countryside.

Our Health Walks are led by trained Health Walk Leaders and are a great way of getting exercise and meeting people. From beginners to challenging walks there are walks suitable for everyone. So why not take a health walk and enjoy the countryside? You could make new friends, relieve stress and benefit your health. Walking is simple, free and one of the easiest ways to get more active, lose weight and become healthier. It’s an underrated form of exercise but walking is ideal for people of all ages and fitness levels who want to be more active.

A message from Somerset County Council:

I am writing to advise you of the upcoming changes to Services 5, 8 and 19 which are currently operated by South West Coaches.  Due to new legislation which is being introduced by central government from 1^st January 2020, which requires all coaches to be accessible, Somerset County Council will be taking over the operation of these routes from the 2^nd January 2020.  After looking at passenger numbers, we will be using a minibus to better match demand, rather than a coach.  We’ve also had to make some changes to the timetables, in order to accommodate other work the vehicle is used for.  I have attached copies of the new timetables for your information.  Summary of services as follows:  

Service 5:  Yeovil – BabcaryOperating on a Wednesday

Start date 08/01/2020

Service 19 Bruton – Yeovil is to be re-numbered ‘39’

Operating on a Friday.  Timetable amended.

Start date 03/01/2020

All fares are to remain the same.  South West Coaches will put up information onboard their services, to advise passengers of the upcoming changes.
