Dist:0.4km<br/>A view looking to the east along the infilled trackbed of the Great Western Railway branch line from Limpley Stoke to Camerton, taken from the bridge on Withyditch Lane. The branch line closed to traffic in 1951 on the closure of the Camerton colliery, but was used in 1952 in the making of the film “The Titfield Thunderbolt”.

Dist:0.5km<br/>A view looking south along Withyditch Lane, towards the bridge over the old trackbed of the Great Western Railway Camerton Branch. The GWR Limpley Stoke to Camerton branch line closed to traffic in 1951 on the closure of the Camerton colliery, but was used in 1952 in the making of the film “The Titfield Thunderbolt”. Peasedown St.John can be seen on the horizon.

Dist:0.6km<br/>In the middle ages a Palmer was someone who had made the pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Over the meadow, beyond the sheep, we find Withyditch and the Cam Valley. A collection of 3D photographs in http://www.somerset3d.co.uk/logos & pictures/town & village pages/withyditch.html On the horizon, a little to the right, if you look carefully you will see a thing like a big mushroom, this is the water tower above Limpley Stoke and Freshford [[ST7760]]

Dist:0.6km<br/>Looking over a frozen field in the direction of Odd Down and Bath.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Mostly pasture land. The view takes in the suburbs of Bath on the slopes to Lansdown. It is just possible to see Little Solsbury Hill right of centre [[ST7667]]

Dist:0.7km<br/>As it approaches Tunley from the east the B3115 follows the top of a ridge giving views to the north and south on a clear day. Here we look north to Lansdown, the racecourse is just beyond the horizon. If you are looking for Kelston Round Hill it is dead centre frame well camouflaged against the background, its clump of trees only just clears the skyline. [[ST7167]] Upper Weston is beneath Lansdown Hill to the right and nearer the camera we find bits of Inglesbatch and Priston.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The foreground pasture soon tips over into a valley containing Priston which is due north of this spot and about half a mile away. The ground soon rises to more farmland before it tops the next ridge then drops into another valley which contains Priston Mill Farm, about a mile further north. On the other side of that valley yet another ridge and at the top, to break the monotony, Wilmington and Wilmington Farm. Neither of these ridges is named on OS Explorer Map 155. The hills seen faintly in the distance are the Cotswolds east of Bristol.
