Midsomer Norton Town Park:
In 2017 Midsomer Norton Town Council purchased the fields alongside the River Somer and Norton Hill Batch – a former coal spoil heap to develop as a Town Park.
This 8 hectare site is located close to Midsomer Norton High Street and is made up of riverside meadows and a steep coal ‘Batch’. From the top of the Batch there are far-reaching views over Midsomer Norton and the Somer Valley.
