Dist:0.3km<br/>It's nice to see how the old traditional method of building bridges has been replaced by rivets and steel. And a lagged water pipe running over the bridge makes for such elegant design.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This bridge over the River Sheppey gives access to Willow Bridge Farm from the road that runs from Godney to Polsham. The sign on the bridge also says River Farm. Like many of the bridges on the Somerset levels, the bridge is a simple arch made of blue lias stone.

Dist:1.0km<br/>Photograph taken just south of Godney showing coppiced willows on the Somerset Levels. A war time pill box can just be made out to the right of the road through a gap in the trees. The bank, running left to right (cutting through the pill box) is a rhyne that often carries water across the levels higher than the levels themselves.
