Too cold for the coots
The last water-filled section of the old Chard Canal lies at the south of the town. Whilst most of the old course has been drained, dug up and built over, this is the one bit that attracts the wildlife. However, a frosty morning has thwarted the coots.

A little piece of the Chard Canal
The Chard Canal was hoped to provide an extra route for the expanding canal system in the South West in the early 1800s. The canal was opened in 1842 but due to the elevated nature and difficult terrain, was beset with financial and logistical problems from the beginning. It closed in 1868 and was largely dug up. This short section in south Ilminster is perhaps the only bit still with water in it - and forms a little wildlife retreat. See Image

West Crescent park
A narrow corridor marks the edge of town and hosts a little play area for the children. The steep slope is actually part of the old Chard Canal and there was a short tunnel in this section.
