Milestone - Marshfield 6
Image: © Neil Owen Taken: 29 Aug 2011
A traditional (if somewhat gravestone-like) roadside marker, giving a distance of 6 miles to the nearby village. What it doesn't tell you is the fact that Marshfield is up the long, steep incline of Tog Hill, or that Bath is almost as close and is a far bigger town. Intriguingly, there is a benchmark at the top - see Image] for a closer look.
