Please note this timetable is not exclusive of all services that operate in and around Taunton, therefore for further and up to date information please visit www.traveline.info As such timetables and rules of carriage for public transport apply at all times. In addition to students from the College, fare paying members of the public will use the same buses.

College students can chose to purchase a ticket and pay the driver for each journey or; 2. Make use of any special tickets issued by individual bus operators or; 3. Purchase the Somerset County Council County Ticket (Love the Bus). Careful research and planning is required to ensure the chosen ticket provides the best value for money for each individual student.

  • Extract of the Survey on Orchard Wyndham, Williton Few Houses Stay
    Extract of the survey on Orchard Wyndham, Williton Few houses stay within the same family for 800 hundred years, but Orchard Wyndham is one of them, having been handed down for generations, not always down the male line, but always in the family. The house and garden of Orchard Wyndham are tucked into a ring of low hills inland from the sea at Watchet, with a stream, called Willett, running through the estate. Beyond lie the Brendon Hills, the Quantocks and Exmoor. So well hidden is Orchard Wyndham that it escaped the notice, not only of the marauding Vikings, but the Domesday survey. By that time the land round the present house was well settled, sheltered from the north by a steep bank; on Blackdown, a hill to the south of the house, there are signs of Bronze Age settlement and remains of a Roman fortification. The remains of a Saxon drainage system, hollowed out oak trees rammed together, were found under the Great Hall in the 1960s. Little is known of the history of the garden in the early years, but the land is sheltered and fertile and there is water from the hills; a lake, to the east of the house has an outlet to a stock pond beside the house which is now an attractive feature of the garden. A 13th century garden lay inside a wall south east of the house. The earliest dated record, 1287, shows that the land was owned by the Orchard, or de Horcherd, family who lived there until the 15th century.

  • Download Walk Details
    Walk 3: circular walk to dunster Length: 3 ½ miles / 5.5 Km Good For: Difficulty: Easy / Stile free Theme: History Duration: 2/3 hours depending on speed of walking and time spent in Dunster Dunster originated as “Dunn’s Torre”, a craggy fortification overlooking the Bristol Channel which William the Conqueror gave to the powerful de Mohun family to build a castle to protect the coast. In 1375 the feudal barony was purchased by the Luttrell family who owned the Castle until 1976 when it was gifted to the National Trust. From Dunster Beach car park (1), walk in a westerly direction across the grass near to the shingle of the beach until you reach a gap in the fence (do not take the drive leading to the chalets). Follow ECP signposts and waymarks and walk across the grass area between the chalets and the beach keeping closer to the beach than the chalets. Note on the way a profusion of wild flowers, in season, most notably Evening Primrose and Biting Stonecrop. Continue on this path for approximately 1km until you come to another gap in the fence. Discover The Secret Somerset Coast - Walk 3: Circular walk to Dunster Page 2 of 6 Leave the ECP (2) and turn left following the footpath signs for Dunster. The structures in front of you as you leave the coast path are Second World War “pillbox” defences. Continue inland on this path, over the footbridge and walk until you come to a metal gate (3). Turn left onto the track and follow it until you reach a series of gates which take you through Lower Marsh Farm.

Britain joined with France and Poland, followed by the countries of the British Empire and Commonwealth. This group came to be known as ‘the Allies’. In 1941 they were joined by America and Canada, whose armies came to Minehead to train. Britain was badly-equipped for war and there was an urgent need for military training. Existing facilities were outdated and land for tank training was in short supply. North Hill became one of five major new tank training grounds in the country. NORTH HILL AS A MILITARY SITE During the Iron Age (700 BC – 43 AD), and the reigns of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I North Hill was considered an important military site. A beacon was set up above Selworthy in 1555, and in the late 1800s a large military training camp was established. The area continued as a training ground right up to the First World War.

  • Than 100 Shops and Businesses in Minehead Town Centre and on the Seafront Have Emerged from Lockdown, with Owners Determine
    More than 100 shops and businesses in Minehead town centre and on the seafront have emerged from lockdown, with owners determined to make the most of the rest of the summer season. Meanwhile, although coronavirus has scuppered plans for what would have been the biggest array of floral decorations ever seen in the town centre, business leaders and councillors remain determined to make the shopping streets as attractive as possible, with bunting going up in the town soon. There are also hopes that the pandemic could have a silver lining for some local traders. Minehead BID manager Andrew Hopkins told us how, during lockdown, scores of people had continued to support local traders who had been selling online or offering home delivery services. He said; “Many local people have been absolutely astonished at the range of goods and services that were, and still are, available locally across Minehead. There is now a very good chance that customers will remain loyal to those businesses who kept residents supplied with essentials when normal trading was effectively suspended. With its broad and airy main street leading down to the sea front, and very few points of conflict between pedestrians and cars, Minehead offers one of the safest and most pleasant shopping experiences in the south west – along with a really impressive range of independent shops and businesses. Shopping in Minehead really is a pleasure and I think lockdown has highlighted to many local people just how fortunate they are to live where they live.” Keep in touch with what’s happening in and around Minehead by checking out and following Visit Minehead on Facebook and Instagram.

  • South West River Basin District Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment
    South West river basin district Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment March 2016 Executive summary The Flood Risk Management Plan (FRMP) for the South West River Basin District (RBD) provides an overview of the range of flood risks from different sources across the 9 catchments of the RBD. The RBD catchments are defined in the River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) and based on the natural configuration of bodies of water (rivers, estuaries, lakes etc.). The FRMP provides a range of objectives and programmes of measures identified to address risks from all flood sources. These are drawn from the many risk management authority plans already in place but also include a range of further strategic developments for the FRMP ‘cycle’ period of 2015 to 2021. The total numbers of measures for the South West RBD FRMP are reported under the following types of flood management action: Types of flood management measures % of RBD measures Prevention – e.g. land use policy, relocating people at risk etc. 21 % Protection – e.g. various forms of asset or property-based protection 54% Preparedness – e.g. awareness raising, forecasting and warnings 21% Recovery and review – e.g. the ‘after care’ from flood events 1% Other – any actions not able to be categorised yet 3% The purpose of the HRA is to report on the likely effects of the FRMP on the network of sites that are internationally designated for nature conservation (European sites), and the HRA has been carried out at the level of detail of the plan. Many measures do not have any expected physical effects on the ground, and have been screened out of consideration including most of the measures under the categories of Prevention, Preparedness, Recovery and Review.
