Turnpike Caravan Park Animations commissioned by Neroche Scheme for the Digital Trail Guide to the Blackdown Hills
   

 I lived at Turnpike Caravan Park, 3 miles out of Chard on the Honiton Road for over six years. You can see where the caravan site is on the map. I don't drive and relied on public transport for getting around to the various commissions and residencies I was working on. Before the 99 bus service there was one bus a week from Howley. The introduction of the 99 service in 2003 made getting around the Blackdown Hills much easier. I love the route, and as anyone who has taken the trip will know it traces some of the most undiscovered parts of Somerset. It is a great example of the county implementing a service that meets the needs of the people.
