I shall probably never forget our visit here, not for the delightful ford but because I parked the Landcruiser on the grass verge at the top of the track and on leaving managed to ‘pop’ the bottom arm of the drive shaft and spent the next 15 hours waiting to be recovered by the RAC. Many thanks to all the helpful villagers and the tenant farmer who kept checking up on us as well as the local community police officers. We were fortunate it didn’t happen on one of the tracks and that there was the Compton Inn close by to provide us with a hearty meal.

Power at the village fair Compton Dando is a largely agricultural village, set in the Chew Valley. On the day of the fair, it is no surprise to see some modern farm vehicles.
