Wellow Brook:

Midsomer Norton Town Council has leased this 3-hectare grassland site adjacent to the Wellow Brook from the Duchy of Cornwall, with the aspiration to improve wildlife habitats on site and encourage community use. A public footpath runs through the site from the Thicket Mead area of Midsomer Norton in the west to Welton in the east with the Norton Radstock cycleway forming the northern boundary.  

In this audio trail, not only will we learn more about this historic location, but we’ll also learn some interesting facts in our series ‘Did you know?’.
