To scale walk across the universe (between Taunton and Bridgwater along the canal!)

Lovely walk and there is the Maunsel Tea Rooms where you can grab food!

Great way to learn about the solar system as you walk down the Bridgwater & Taunton canal.

The Somerset Space Walk is an attraction along the Taunton to Bridgwater canal route. It was designed by the late Pip Youngman and depicts our solar system as a true scale model running the length of the canal. The route can be walked or cycled - off road along the canal. Easy to access the canal in Taunton with lots of parking.

*** 20 minute drive from Bean Tree View *** The Somerset Space Walk is a sculpture trail model of the Solar System, located in Somerset, England. The model uses the towpath of the 22-kilometre (14-mile) Bridgwater and Taunton Canal to display a model of the Sun and its planets in their proportionally correct sizes and distances apart. Unusually for a Solar System model, there are two sets of planets. Aware of the inadequacies of printed pictures of the Solar System, the inventor Pip Youngman designed the Space Walk as a way of challenging people's perceptions of space and experiencing the vastness of the Solar System. The model is built to a scale of 1:530,000,000, meaning that one millimetre on the model equates to 530 kilometres. The Sun is sited at Higher Maunsel Lock, and one set of planets is installed in each direction along the canal towards Taunton and Bridgwater; the distance between the Sun and each model of Pluto being 11 kilometres (6.8 mi). For less hardy walkers, the inner planets are within 67 metres (220 ft) of the Sun, and near to the Maunsel Canal Centre (and tea shop) at Lower Maunsel Lock, where a more detailed leaflet about the model is available.
