Hidden Speed Bump on Private Road

Highlight • Structure

Massive bump on a private road going downhill. My friend came off and we ended up having to call an ambulance and he has fractured his back. Avoid at all costs, it's v. easy to miss. (we have reported it/ asked a neighbour to paint it!)

Back Road Entrance to Paulton

Highlight • Trail

Either of these will work as quieter entrances to Paulton. It's on a hill so it's a down-and-up any way you slice it.

Timsbury Basin

Highlight • Structure

Timsbury basin is one of the remnants of the old Somerset Coal Canal. This is where the canal began, flowing from here down to the Kennet and Avon canal near Bath. The canal isn't complete, but you can trace the route starting with these ponds.
