Green Ore What can I say about Green Ore? Stuck in the middle of nowhere on top of the Mendips, it's about the only thing of note in this square. A cross roads of the A39 (Wells Road) and the B3135. What strikes me is why it needs a hideous set of traffic lights. The roads that intersect are dead straight and at 90 degrees; my guess is that it's been the scene of some fatal accidents. There is also a speed camera there. The buildings around the crossroads comprise a pub (the Ploughboy Inn), a 4x4 vehicle sales place, a (transport?) cafe and a couple of houses. The rest of the square is farmed.

2009 : B3135 at Green Ore The B3135 is one of those strange little 'B' roads that promises much and goes nowhere. It starts by climbing the Cheddar Gorge, works its way along the Mendips to Green Ore, on a few more miles to the A37 then just as it seems to be going well it stops.
