Dist:0.2km<br/>Looking north. The brook is on the other side of the trees to the right, it joins the Mells River near Vallis Farm about half a mile ahead, eventually joining the River Frome.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Having crossed Egford Brook a few yards previously. The name suggests there was once a ford here. Frome is a little more than one mile behind, ahead lie Whatley, Whatley Quarry and the Mendips.

Dist:0.4km<br/>A view looking east along the lane to Frome at Egford. The road passes over three tributaries of the Egford Brook at this point, one at the railings in the foreground, one to the right of the waterworks building, and the third by the trees behind the car.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Neil Howlett tells me this is an old cattle droving road. It is also a beautiful, though short, example of what I call a "green Road" (just my personal name - it doesn't seem to have any official status). In my personal definition of "green road" absence of wheel ruts is important. In Ireland they have the rather nice word "boreen" which means "little street" but most Irish boreens are what we would call sunken lanes or muddy tracks.

Dist:0.6km<br/>An example of unconformity. An unconformity is a buried erosional surface separating strata of different ages; it indicates that sediment deposition was not continuous. In an angular unconformity, such as the one shown here, younger strata of sedimentary rock rest upon the eroded surface of tilted or folded older rocks. The above description is taken from "Abrupt global events in the Earth's history: a physics perspective", 2010 Rep. Prog. Phys. 73 122801, and is the author, Gregory Ryskin's, description of the image as reproduced in that article.
