Quite a climb, great views from the top, check out the old graffiti carved above the main entrance- it’s a girt hill with an old church on the top - good stuff!

Scott Cinemas

HISTORY This cinema was opened as The Odeon on 13th July 1936. The architect was T.Cecil Howitt who also designed very similar Odeons in Weston super Mare, Bristol and Clacton on Sea. It had 1,525 seats. Howitt's Odeons were very stylish mid- Art Deco buildings and there are exterior and interior photographs on display in the cinema foyer. The main staircase and upper foyer retain many features. During the late 1960's it was sold to Classic Cinemas, who were later bought by Cannon Cinemas. Classic separated the stalls area for Bingo and divided the balcony into the two existing cinemas, making a new cinema entrance on the side. Scott Cinemas acquired cinemas in this thriving town in December 1983. For further information see: Odeon Cinemas 1 by Allen Eyles, BFI Publishing. CURRENT The cinema has two identical auditoria on the first floor occupying the old circle. A refurbishment was carried out in 2005 to restep the auditoria to allow new seating to installed. 2011 saw the refurbishment of the toilets and some front of house areas, and both screens were converted to Digital Projection. In 2013 we completely refurbished the lower foyer, with some sprucing up of the upper foyer.

The Bridgwater & Taunton Canal

Reviewed By RubyWelsh - Bridgwater, United Kingdom

A lovely canal to have in the middle of Bridgwater linking to Taunton and other nearby villages. Excellent for walking, running, cycling, boating, fishing or just to stop by at the cafe for tea and cake watching passers by. Equally friendly for dog walkers too. The canal itself is dirty though so just be mindful if you're kayaking etc. However, there are good spots to stop for a rest and bite to eat with your sailing vessel. I've walked and cycled to Taunton and back. It's an easy flat level with some lovely views on a good, clear day. Do expect muddy, slippery terrain during wet, winter months. Generally the walking area of the canal is reasonably looked after. A good place to just get away from it all.

WWT Steart Marshes

Reviewed By SimonD851 - Hockley Heath, United Kingdom

I'm a 'developing' birdwatcher, but visited here with an expert. I logged 16 species, including Merlin, peregrine, marsh harrier and spotted redshank, and there were many others that I didn't see or didn't record. This might not be for you if you are expecting to see lots of birds parading in full view for easy identification. Many of the more interesting sightings required long and detailed study of large flocks; one spotted redshank (RSPB report fewer than 100 wintering in the UK) in a large flock of other waders; a merlin sitting on a fencepost on the far side of the lake, Marsh Harrier working along the far side of the reserve. You won't see much of this without a good pair of binoculars, and a telescope with higher magnification makes things easier. It's probably also just a nice place to walk.

Bridgwater Carnival Centre

The Bridgwater Carnival Centre is the home to one of Europe's largest annual illuminated carnival processions - Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival. Visitors to the centre are able to obtain information about this year's event, look at carnival memorabilia and photos from years gone by, and purchase official merchandise. Opening hours vary depending on the season and volunteer availability.

I found this by chance and was impressive by the lay out and contents. There are photos of those taking part in the famous carnival going back to the 1890's and huge colour photos of more recent carnivals. There are stickers and brochures available and staff on hand to help with any enquiries.
