THE first section of the Steam Coast Trail has been completed ahead of schedule and will be open to the public at Dunster Beach on Tuesday (December 27).

All are welcome to join the celebration from 10am whether on foot, bike, skates, skateboard or wheelchair – anything with wheels.

The first section of the trail is 1.5km long, and just the beginning of a much larger project to build a picturesque network of multi-user paths around West Somerset.
