Dist:0.3km<br/>Photo taken looking east. The stream follows the road for several miles starting at Burcott Mill [[ST5245]]where it is the run off from the mill pond. Its course is canal like following the contour of the hill some 30ft above the levels. Along its length there are sluices that in times of high rain allow the excess to run down to the levels.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking along the start of the straight stretch of the drove described in [[2588503]], from the same spot as [[2588558]] and [[2588604]], with the Mendips across the levels on the left.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking up the drive to the farm from the B3139.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The drove runs dead straight for nearly two kilometres; this view from the junction with Marchey Drove, looks along the southwestern 450 metres of that stretch. On the right, partly hidden by a tree, is Barrow Hill.

Dist:0.5km<br/>See [[2588558]]; this view, looking downstream from the same spot, demonstrates there is water in the channel.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The river, really a former irrigation channel and millstream, flows (there's water in there somewhere) towards the camera heading for Panborough Moor, where it meets the real River Axe. In the background is Scotland House. View from Knowle Moor Drove.

Dist:0.5km<br/>[[95493]] shows the rhyne looking in the other direction from Knowle Moor Drove, on a rather lovelier day. Set against the western end of Yarley Hill in the background is part of the village of Bleadney, in [[ST4846]].

Dist:0.7km<br/>Looking in the other direction from the spot where [[2588714]] was taken, on the other side of Tilley's Drove. Ahead is [[93989]] - mapped as Barrow Hill - with Barrow House Farm at its foot.

Dist:0.7km<br/>It's flat. There's drainage ditches and, oh yes, sheep. Mendip Hills West (Cheddar [[ST4754]])in the background, capped all day by cloud (see [[ST5252]] where 30mins later I took that picture).

Dist:0.8km<br/>Christ Church is a Victorian structure.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Yeap's Drove gives way to Tilley's Drove. Ahead is Barrow Hill, in [[ST4745]].

Dist:0.8km<br/>[[89431]] was taken further down this road to the left. This looks across it and across a meadow beyond. The prominent clump of trees and the distant Brook Farm to its left are both in [[ST4744]].
