Dist:0.4km<br/>Most of the small village of Charlton lies on this side turning off the B3139 (foreground). The C17 houses on the left and the right are both listed http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=267935 http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=267936&mode=adv .

Dist:0.4km<br/>The main road through Charlton crosses Snail's Bottom, a little down the hill from the scene in [[1601509]]. The opening on the right is for footpath FR 7/11 down the valley to Radstock.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This looks a rather wet stream crossing at the moment, although I believe a footbridge is hidden on the left. However, this wasn't my route so I retraced my steps without looking for it. The path, FR 7/11, links Charlton Lane to Waterside Lane.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking down to the stream, which is named Snail's Bottom on the maps, as it runs through woodlamd, from [[1601632]].

Dist:0.4km<br/>Taken a little further down the road from [[1601619]], with the start of the footpath mentioned (FR 7/11). The road then crosses the valley floor well above the stream.

Dist:0.5km<br/>From a convenient layby on the road south to Holcombe. The hill slopes down to Kilmersdon to the left.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The stream in swollen state below Waterside Farm, as it enters the square, seen from footpath FR 7/11.

Dist:0.6km<br/>As the road nears the crest of the hill above Snail's Bottom, Charlton Lane turns off to the right.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Taken from Charlton Road. There is an object that looks like the tail end of a light aircraft, with higher resolution it is not. Buildings in the distance belong to Radstock.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Neglected milepost, West of Charlton on B3139. V-plan, bevel top; legend reads, left, "WELLS/..", right, "TROWBRIDGE/13", top, "LONDON/112".

Dist:0.7km<br/>The field has been cropped this year but there is no sign of ploughing, may be left to rest for a year. Looking toward Radstock, the hills further over are near Clandown.

Dist:0.7km<br/>It is not easy to tell grass from wheat at this stage of growth but I think this is grass, the rows are very close together and the small seedlings had fine leaves.
