Fields near Slape Moor

Seen from the B3227, a field boundary cuts across the northern slopes of the valley of the Hillfarrance Brook. The brook runs along the diagonal line of woodland in the distance (and in ST0926), beneath the hills crowned by Milverton Heath.

Miscanthus, Fry's Farm

Miscanthus is a significant crop in West Somerset and East Devon - see ST0711 : Uffculme: miscanthus crop. This field, which quickly crosses into ST1026, climbs the hill towards Quaking House.

Layby by the B3227

On the left is the B3227 between Milverton and Wiveliscombe, which can be glimpsed in the distance. Behind the camera, it runs along the course of the Devon and Somerset Railway; here it begins to diverge to the left (south) from that line.
