Looking down
From the east ramparts of the Iron Age hillfort, Maes Knoll, the rich farmlands of the lower slopes are catching the last of the afternoon sun. Along this line ran the Wansdyke, a Celtic feature that went several miles at least towards the hill fort of Stantonbury Hill, and then on towards Bath.

No coal on this line
Neither as a fuel for the Bristol and North Somerset Railway locomotives, nor as a product of the collieries of Pensford and Radstock, this is the remnant line of the old tracks leading south from Bristol. It began life after a fairly torrid financial start in 1873. Having suffered from the loss of much of the coal fields around this area and also from the damage of the Great Storm of 1968 that forced the closure of the Pensford viaduct, the line finally closed in 1973. The tracks were ripped up and the land returned to agriculture. The hedge lines stand as a green monument to the old railway.
