Looking over North Somerset farmland near Timsbury. Wallmead House Farm is about 50 yards behind the camera. There are the remains of an ancient hill fort on the hill in front.
A look into Timsbury Bottom. Timsbury Bottom Farm is down the hill with High Littleton peering over the next ridge. The area is riddled with old mine workings.
