Langport to Watergore

11/6/16 Bus back to Langport. Apparently there was a walking festival on there that weekend. We didn't spot them. We started along the Parrett in the town, before crossing it and heading south back across the levels. This man-made landscape needs maintenance.

It's not the most exciting countryside to walk, but there is plenty of wildlife.

The path keeps close to the river until Kingsbury Episcopi. The Wyndhams Arms is the middle of the village.

It was a pleasant atmosphere in the pub with the landlord making the effort to talk with his customers. All the real ales were £3. I had a Black as yer At (4.3%), but I can't remember what Sid had, although we did sample the Googly.

We did go slightly wrong coming out of the pub, but I was confident that we were heading in the right direction and we soon spotted what looked like the Parrett across a field. The trail follows the river to Gawbridge. There it splits in two again and we follow it towards East Lambrook. We lose the river and follow the brook towards South Petherton.

The Brewers Arms is in the middle of this large village. The pub was reasonably busy for a Saturday afternoon with three different sports events on three televisions in their own areas of the bar. The beer was nice as well, but more incompetence by me means that I forgotten what we drank even if I can remember it was £6.60.

After leaving there it was a relatively short walk, not near any waterway but crossing the A303, to Watergore. From there we caught a bus to Ilminster for another pint before the trip home.
