House at Helland Helland is really a suburb of North Curry being only a few hundred metres south east of the village on the edge of the dead flat expanse of West Sedge Moor. This stone and brick house is at the junction of Helland Hill and Westfield Lane which is seen on the right and at this point carries the long distance footpath the East Dene Way

Cattle on West Sedge Moor This pasture field, as with all the fields on the moor, is dead flat. The grass seemed very dry considering the amount of rain earlier in the summer but the aberdeen angus cattle seemed happy enough with it.

Poplar Farm This small group of buildings no longer seems to be a working farm though it may be a small holding. As with many of the buildings in this area it is built from blue lias stone.

Wheat Field near Slatts House This  field of nearly ripe wheat with a single poppy is on top of the line of hills that run along the southern edge of West Sedge Moor. This is the view south away from the moor towards Curry Mallet and the valley of the Fivehead River.

House at Rock This house is on the road junction where the minor road down Rock Hill from Rock to West Sedgemoor crosses the minor road from Crimson Hill at the head of the Wrantage Inclined Plane to Fivehead. It would appear that at one time this road passed just to the right of this house but it has now been diverted and displaced about 40m east and so the junction is now staggered.
