Dist:0.3km<br/>Duncart Lane, Croscombe. Leads to the Old Wells Road at the top of the hill. Wonder why the driver of that C1 abandoned his vehicle in the middle of the road like that.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The course of the river Sheppey has been substantially 'managed' on its way through Croscombe, as this small weir area demonstrates. The Sheppey was the main power source for many of the mills (now gone) which functioned in Croscombe in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The old road through Croscombe, now cut off by the A371. Valerian grows at the bottom of the wall on the left, too attractive to be a weed, more of an unofficial floral display. Kniphofia (red hot poker) shows in the cottage garden.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This monument was put in place in the 1800s, apparently replacing an older version which had been there since the 1300s. It is heavily weathered (the rock type is oolite - a soft limestone variety) especially on the front right where it serves as a seat for the patrons of the adjacent Bull Terrier public house.
