IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Withyditch, BATH, BA2 8AX

In the middle ages a Palmer was someone who had made the pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Over the meadow, beyond the sheep, we find Withyditch and the Cam Valley. A collection of 3D photographs in http://www.somerset3d.co.uk/logos%20&%20pictures/town%20&%20village%20pages/withyditch.html On the horizon, a little to the right, if you look carefully you will see a thing like a big mushroom, this is the water tower above Limpley Stoke and Freshford Image

The weather takes a turn for the worse. Meanwhile, a lane branches off to the right to follow the Cam Brook valley to Dunkerton.

A view looking south along Withyditch Lane, towards the bridge over the old trackbed of the Great Western Railway Camerton Branch. The GWR Limpley Stoke to Camerton branch line closed to traffic in 1951 on the closure of the Camerton colliery, but was used in 1952 in the making of the film “The Titfield Thunderbolt”. Peasedown St.John can be seen on the horizon.

Withyditch Lane railway bridge, between Withyditch and Carlingcott, Bath & N E S. Withyditch Lane goes over this bridge to Dunkerton, Carlingcott in the Cam Valley. Bridge crosses over the course of what on the OS maps is a 'dismantled railway' The Camerton & Limpley Stoke railway line, used in 'The Titfield Thunderbolt'. The cutting under this bridge was filled in after the line closed. Only the top portions of the former railway bridge are visible.

A view looking to the west along the infilled trackbed of the Great Western Railway branch line from Limpley Stoke to Camerton, from the bridge on Withyditch Lane. The branch line closed to traffic in 1951 on the closure of the Camerton colliery, but was used in 1952 in the making of the film “The Titfield Thunderbolt”.

A view looking to the southeast along the course of the rather undefined footpath from Withyditch to Dunkerton Image, visible in the distance.

A view looking to the southeast from Withyditch Lane towards the kissing gate at the start of the public footpath to Dunkerton. The church at Dunkerton Image can be seen in the distance.

Withyditch Lane, no less. I waited here for a while for the rain to stop (it did) and the sun to come out (it didn't).

"Non-Conformist one-roomed chapel, dating from 1839 ... a fairly rare survival of a largely unaltered baptist chapel. Its exterior displays humble but elegant Classical architectural detailing, clearly expressing the Non-Conformist culture and tradition" https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1391753 .
