Somerset's coastal path joins up with trail around England

A new path following the coast around Somerset has opened to walkers linking up with the England Coast Path.

The 58-mile (93km) route follows the coast from Brean Down to Burnham-on-Sea before heading to Bridgwater along the River Parrett and ending in Minehead.

Coastal access rights also provide walkers with access to beaches and cliffs along the route.

Once completed, the England Coast Path will be the longest National Trail.
