Old Milestone, West Coker / A30

On the NW side of the A30 in a cutting. Near the bridge carrying the West Coker Hill / Collarway Lane road. It is difficult to get to on foot, the verges are slight and the cutting long, under the bridge non-existent verges. This image was taken from a slow moving vehicle.

Old Boundary Stone, West Coker / East Chinnock

A curious broken stone. This was lying exactly at the position of a boundary stone (on maps up to 1962). The inscription could be interpreted signifying a "county" stone, marking the extent of responsibility for the bridge if it was C / YHD (Yeovil Hundred Division).

Gate into a field on Butcher's Hill

The southeastern part of the massive Hamdon hillfort is known as Butcher's Hill, this view is of a field to the south of the road that runs through the interior of the hillfort. The area is popular with dog-walkers, and the various signs on this gate warn about sheep worrying and the possible consequences of not cleaning up after your dog.

The flat field to the left of the trees is part of the Odcombe landfill site. Now all green and pleasant, well on the surface anyway!

View from Hocker's Hill

Hocker's Hill is a restricted byway (Y20/62) followed by about three long-distance footpaths. It offers tantalising glimpses of this attractive valley. The stream drains into the River Parrett.

Lane Down From Pease Hill

The photograph does not do justice to the steepness of this hill, absolutely wonderful freewheeling on a bike. The village of Chiselborough lies in a valley on the left of this lane.

Ham Hill Road

This lane descends quite steeply down the side of Ham Hill to the hamlet of Little Norton. The O.S.Explorer map 129 shows a cattle grid at the bottom of the hill but this has been removed.
