About North Petherton
Located on the eastern foothills of the Quantocks, North Petherton is a small town in the county of Somerset. Before becoming a town, North Petherton was known for being the largest village in England. Despite its small stature, the town has been a significant settlement throughout English history since the Saxon era.
The Bridgewater and Taunton Canal runs through the small town, offering tranquil walks along the towpath and opportunities to see much of the local wildlife. This path also features part of the Somerset Space Walk: a route with sculptures of the planets displayed in proportion to their size and distance from each other. Find the sun at Maunsel Lock Canal Centre, where there is also information on the canal's several locks, as well as a tea shop and boat launch.
North Petherton is most easily reached via car, with it being located just off the M5 motorway. However, travelers can also reach the town via rail as it is only 3 miles from Bridgewater Railway Station. Megabus UK and FlixBus buses can transport you from the station to North Petherton or neighboring towns.
