ROUTE: The A303 near the Sparkford roundabout SOMERSET equestrians have failed in their efforts to secure an “inappropriate” right of way - straight across the busy A303. The South Somerset Bridleway Association applied to get a contested bridleway across the dual carriageway at Sparkford added to the definitive rights of way map for the county – which lists all public footpaths and bridleways which can be used. The campaign group said this would allow Highways England to put in a new footbridge for horses and pedestrians as part of mitigation when the A303 near Sparkford is dualled in the coming years.
