Wragg and Simpson Street
Where is the Wragg and Simpson Pause Place Located?
This Pause Place is located at the intersection of Wragg and Simpson Streets. A few minutes’ walk will take you to the Somerset village centre with its shops, cafes, and bus stops. This link will take you to the bus timetable.
An 8 minute walk down Falmouth Street (head down Simpson Street away from the village centre and then first left) will take you to our beautiful beach, the Shared Coastal Pathway and the Beams and Trafford Pause Place, celebrating the Somerset Community Shed, its founders and the Shed’s great contribution to this community.
A 10 minute walk away from here is the ANZAC Memorial Park & All Abilities Playground which is a beautiful place for all to rest and relax at the mouth of the Cam River. To get there head down Simpson Street away from the village centre and then first left which is Falmouth Street, when you cross the highway turn right along Bells Parade.
