Dist:0.5km<br/>The path runs from Backwell Bow and crosses the Land Yeo on or near the site of the vanished Backwell Mill. Watercress Farm looks derelict here. It had suffered a fire. A leat system and headpond powered a small waterwheel in a hut by the farm in 1988, purpose not known, but possibly with the wheel working as a water pump

Dist:0.5km<br/>The small brick building, centre, with the black diamond brickwork, was a pump house. A small waterwheel pumped water up to Tyntesfield. It was powered by a leat from the Land Yeo. In Wraxall parish

Dist:0.5km<br/>The farm at one time belonged to the Tyntesfield estate, now National Trust. The farmhouse has been rebuilt following a fire in the 1980s. Work is now in progress to convert outbuildings. Two little water-powered pump houses here provided water for Tyntesfield House. Looking north west

Dist:0.7km<br/>On a track, which is also a public path, to Watercress Farm. Looking west towards Nailsea which is largely a creation of the late twentieth century. In the 19th century Nailsea was a village on a low hill surrounded by moorlands. It had a number of small collieries together with a glassworks. It’s now a town, effectively. Nearer the camera the waters of the Land Yeo flow unseen through fields to meet the Bristol Channel at Clevedon
