2007 : East of Wellow
The house stands near the Wellow Brook which is immediately in front of the camera (hope they don't get trouble with flooding).
Up the hill beyond the house a line across the field shows the track of the Somerset Coal Canal, Southern Arm, which was built as a tramway between 1805 and 1815 to serve collieries around Radstock.
Above that a field hedge conceals the trackbed of the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway which replaced it in 1870 and closed in 1970.

Gate on NCN24 Two Tunnels Greenway near Wellow
The second of four swing gates on the NCN24 heading from Wellow to the Two Tunnels. Springs on some of the gates are very stiff, especially on the first gate off Ford Road in Wellow.
Path here is compacted gravel in generally good condition, with a few potholes, and muddy/rutted patches in wet weather. The path changes to tarmac past Midford.

2007 : Road works on Hinton Hill
Looking beyond the "temporary" road works to the other side of the valley we see a field hedge about half way up the hill. This conceals the track bed of the old Slow and Dirty - the Somerset & Dorset Railway, originally the Bath & Evercreech Extension Railway.
Down the hill from the S & D it is possible to see the course of the southern arm of the Somerset Coal Canal.
The village of Wellow is near the centre of the frame.
