Frome's Missing Links goal is to develop traffic-free routes with gentle gradients suitable for all ages and abilities – including specifically to fill in the sections of Sustrans' national cycle routes that are currently still dangerous for riders.

Sustrans route 24 through Frome involves several steep hills on public roads with no pavements or verges so Frome’s Missing Links aims to create more family-friendly routes and is doing this by campaigning, commenting on planning applications, and raising funds to build these routes. We are now within a mile of joining up off-road to the Colliers Way into Radstock and would love in future better routes into Bath and the much-loved Two Tunnels section. 

Frome’s Missing Links (FML) has a very close partnership with Sustrans who have pledged to adopt any paths that we are able to carry out the fundraising and permissions to construct. Alongside the fundraising function, FML has a very active volunteer team who meet most Fridays and devote time to clearance, ground preparation and tasks such as lifting old rail sleepers from an unused section of old railway. This dedicated team have demonstrated that we have the skills to construct a path ourselves (short of asphalting it) once we have permissions in place.
