The Somerset Circle is an ambitious active travel concept linking Bristol, Bath, the Mendip Hills, the Somerset Levels and the coast, bringing dismantled railways back into sustainable transport use.

Recent years have seen several miles of new path opened and that momentum is continuing around Wells and Shepton Mallet, with projects to repurpose several noteworthy structures including Bath Road and Ham Wood viaducts, and the newer of Windsor Hill’s two tunnels.

In September 2023, dozens of community volunteers came together as part of charity Greenways & Cycleroutes’ annual workcamp at which progress was made with a path along the former Somerset & Dorset Railway, as well as works along other local sections.

As our latest video report shows, it was a joyful and industrious event.
