Dog Walks Dog Walks in Taunton With a Pub at the End
Taunton has four great dog walks: the flat Longrun Meadow loop (2.3 miles), Vivary Park in the town centre (0.9 miles), the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal towpath (as long as you like), and Hestercombe Gardens (40 acres, dogs on leads, free dog treat on arrival, from £15.30). Taunton's pubs aren't verified on The Pub Hound yet the way Bath's or Cheddar's are, so we've picked well-placed ones near each walk and said so honestly.
