CAMRA and Buses of Somerset have linked up to produce pocket guides listing real ale pubs that can be reached by travellers on three of the bus routes radiating from Taunton.

Two of the routes are the 25 to Wiveliscome and Dulverton, and the 28 Taunton to Minehead bus that takes in Willliton and Watchet – and also mentions pubs that can be reached by trains on the West Somerset Railway.

Timetable information is included, so that those enjoying a beer, cider or a meal will know at what time the bus that will take them home, (or on to the next pub, is due.

Pubs listed are a mixture of town and village hostelries, serving ales from a variety of breweries including the award-winning independent brewers of Somerset.

A day ticket, giving freedom of the Buses of the Somerset network, can be purchased for £12 (cash or contactless) from the driver on the day of travel or £11 from the FirstBus app.

The leaflets can be obtained from Buses of Somerset Bus Stations or Tourist Information Offices.
