Green 40 Pointsperfect stop off on drive to Devon
A great alternative to motorway service stations, about 15 minutes drive from the M5, perfect for us and our anxious/reactive dog. Free parking, toilet, great cafe and lovely walk along the canal. On both days we stopped here (journey to Devon and return the following week) we arrived around 10am. Both cafe and car park likely to get busy but there is a further cafe/pub beside the canal nearby and I think parking also.

Heading North, leave M5 at junction 25. A358 Taunton/Yeovil, A38 Drinkwater road, onto A361. This is an acceptable diversion from M5.
Maunsel Lock Tearooms with its limited parking is on the opposite side of the lane to Bridgewater and Taunton Canal public car park. There are two picnic benches with a litter bin in this car park, and a dog waste bin at the entrance. Excellent canal scenery. Plenty of wild life.
Secure path which means dogs can go off-lead.

Nice quite spot. Tea Rooms are good with excellent clean WC. Well worth the detour
