Two free travel and access schemes land in Bristol and Somerset's autumn calendar
A no-cost family walking event at Cheddar Gorge and expanded free rail travel for bereaved military families form two parts of an autumn season of free access in and around the Bristol area.
People in the Bristol and Somerset area have two no-cost participation options in the coming weeks, one local and one national, aimed at different groups but both removing the price of taking part.
On 17 September, YHA Cheddar is running a free family discovery walk at Cheddar Gorge, giving children the chance to explore the area's nature as part of the Festival of Walking, the Weston Mercury reported [1].
The two schemes do not overlap — one is a single local walking event in Somerset, the other a national rail concession tied to Remembrance weekend — but together they mean that from mid-September into November, households in the region can access organised outdoor activity and long-distance travel without paying fares or entry costs [1][2].
