Looking east. An interesting point about the pronunciation: "The name of this village is pronounced lye or lie by local residents rather than lee, and probably comes from the Old English meaning grove or glade." Copied from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leigh_upon_Mendip#History where there is much more.
