Dist:0.2km<br/>Between Breach and North End. The line of the former North Somerset Railway is on the far side of this field, the woods beyond it hide a long gone coal mine.

Dist:0.3km<br/>I'm no expert but these look like they have Hereford genes to judge from their white faces.

Dist:0.3km<br/>100 yards or so north of Breach. Fry's Bottom is in the foreground. Compton Dando is hidden in the valley mid distance, unseen on this image. Lansdown, north of Bath, lies faint on the horizon to the right.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The line of the dismantled North Somerset Railway is among the trees at the bottom of the frame.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The trackbed of the old railway is just in front of the tree line at the end of the track. There is a project afoot to re-open the line from Radstock to Frome south of here. It seems unlikely that the project will extend this far north. More here http://www.northsomersetrailway.com/

Dist:0.4km<br/>Toward North End.

Dist:0.5km<br/>North of Breach. The cow pasture in the foreground seems to be in need of attention, a good collection of thistles. We get a glimpse of Lower Bristol Road on the right hand edge and a brief look at the A37 which it joins a few yards on. Park Farm is prominent, and we can partly peruse Pensford further over.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Crossed the North Somerset Railway until it was closed and dismantled.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Its down there somewhere. Once ran between Bristol Temple Meads and Frome, via Whitchurch, Pensford, and Radstock. Now, alas, no more, but hope springs eternal http://www.northsomersetrailway.com/news_archive.php

Dist:0.6km<br/>Red Hill is behind. Still a major artery between Bristol and the south coast.

Dist:0.7km<br/>In the distance we see hills south of Chelwood.

Dist:0.8km<br/>A by-road north of Clutton. One at least seems to be finding it very easy. The rolling hills and farmland of North Somerset are in the mid distance. Anyone with access to the original image will be able to see the Severn Bridge [[ST5590]] the one between Aust and Beachley, among the branches of the tree. The northern and western part of Bristol is this side of it, with the Post Office tower on Pur Down [[ST6176]] and the Dower House in Duchess' estate further to the right.

Dist:0.9km<br/>Could do with a fresh paint job.

Dist:0.9km<br/>On King Lane. A gap on the left is a small track leading to Blackberry Hill where there would be some fine views over North Somerset you could possibly see into central Bristol and maybe as far as the Severn Bridge, I would imagine. Unfortunately there is an airstrip up there and it is strictly no admission. [[[1735321]]] gives some idea.

Dist:0.9km<br/>The Hunters Rest Inn was originally built around 1750 as a hunting lodge for The Earl of Warwick.
