10 Incredible Underground Lakes and Rivers pics

Far below the Earth’s surface , where the sun rarely penetrates, is a world of twinkling glow worms, precious gems and limestone caves and mountains, a land inhabited by nature alone. Within this world are visions to rival many landscapes decorating our horizon; lakes lie still and calm, great networks of caves know no borders and rivers and rivulets carve an ever-evolving terrain. 1. Cheddar...

EaterWire: Richard Branson's NJ Foodie Resort; Burnt Slices at Di Fara

NEW JERSEY— The Times reports that Sir Richard Branson, the 261st richest person in the world, is opening a "culinary resort" reminiscent of Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Somerset County, NJ. Called Natirar, the 492 acre resort includes a...

So Long Ago

I found Wansdyke on the map and went to have a look, but never imagined the richness of pre-historic monuments to be found on a 3 mile walk on the Pewsey Downs. I started at the bottom of Knap Hill (above and below) a hilltop causewayed enclosure from about 5700 years ago (BP), where Stone Age folk would meet periodically to celebrate and renew tribal loyalties or deal with their dead. Then comes Adam's...

Where did it go? Our 30 th wedding anniversary looms – next week (it’s Pearl since you’re asking) - and MTL asked what I’d like to do. I wondered if we had had too much excitement recently and perhaps we should have a quiet night in. I gave it serious thought – for a whole 30 seconds - and then thought what I’d really, really like to do. Two things I miss –...

The Skinny on Fat Mums versus the MVNHS©

It's not enough that the MVNHS© considers newborns "at risk" if their mums are a bit zaftig. Now comes word that expectant mums may not have the opportunity to actually be admitted to hospital (as the Brits say): " Mothers-to-be who have a body mass index (BMI) of over 34, the equivalent of an average woman of 5ft 6ins weighing 15 stone, will be turned away from Weston General...

a bit wild

What would the world be, once bereft Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet; Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet. Leigh Woods, on the Somerset side of the Avon Gorge, can be a bit variable in its wildness. At dawn you may meet the local wildlife, as Geraldine Taylor often has. On Friday around lunchtime, you are more likely to meet a dog walker trogging...

Clarks Quaker Shoemakers

There is a saying that the cobbler's wife is the worst shod, I wonder if that holds true for the shoemaker's wife also? Or did Helen Priestman Bright who married William Stephens Clark of Strete in Somerset have lovely embroidered shoes like these? The Clarks family have traded since the mid 17th century in Strete. (So-called because it is on a causeway specially constructed to carry quarried stone...

The following article was written for the South Wales Echo and published on the 10th October 2009: The historic town of Cowbridge dates from Roman times but the town layout...

A Walk In The Mendips.

It was a beautiful day as we set off for an hour and a half's drive to meet up with our friends at Priddy , near the Cheddar Gorge. It's a kind of half way point where we meet up for a walk in the spectacular limestone landscape around the gorge. As you approach Cheddar the spine of the Mendip hills breaks out from the flat rather nondescript Somerset landscape. The underlying limestone has created...

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these...

Chapel Allerton, Somerset

Chapel Allerton, Somerset Originally uploaded by ChurchCrawler The interior of the church seems entirely Victorian. with a stone pulpit and new font which is odd as the old font also remains at the west end of the nave, probably C13 and with an ornate Jacobean cover. No memorials apart from a few brass inscription plates which is quite unusual too.

Writers on and under the Cliff Edge

The length of wild coastline between Ilfracombe in north Devon and Porlock, just over the border in Somerset, has attracted a bevy of women writers to seek its ragged contours. Not much surprise that writers would be drawn to the far reaches of the county as moths to a motivational light. The seascape presents awe inspiring, gut wrenching scenic dramas, whilst harbouring delicious sheltered coves and...

Is Exmoor the unfriendliest place in Britain?

Something is rotten in the county of Somerset, and it's not the apples. Nestled in the vales of Exmoor, beneath two iron age hillforts, the town of Dulverton has been a pretty outpost of humanity since 1084, a tranquil shelter from the wilderness of the surrounding moors. No longer. In this cobbled warren of stone cottages, a 21st-century witch hunt is afoot.

Mr Bumble the Bacon Addicted Obese Skunk

Mr Bumble, an obese skunk has been put on a strict diet to help wean him off his addiction to bacon sandwiches. Mr Bumble, was given to the RSPCA by his previous owners when he became too much of a handful. He now lives at Tropiquaria Animal Park near Watchet, Somerset, UK, where he is being put through a dietary regime involving long walks, vegetables and fruit. Mr Bumble weighed one stone when he...

Oolite Ale for a celebration

Embee has been working here for the past 8.5 years. They are coming towards the end of the project and it is likely Embee will be out of a job before Christmas. He's really well past retirement age but wanted to see this project finished as he's been there since the day after it started. Last Saturday BANES (Bath and North East Somerset-the council) hosted a celebration party for the citizens and employees,...
