Seems like a fairly random spot but had a good walk here from Beacon Batch. The spring flowers and butterflies in the green lane heading north from the twin aerials were particularly splendid.Herbert Anchovy22/05/2009

Disappointing indeterminate point on minor road. Views across Blagdon Lake. However, a good round walk linked in nearby Beacon batch marilyn and the spectacular Burrington Coombe.wheresthepath26/11/2005
