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.
