https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2213024
This round, stone building housed a 'buddle'. The buddle is a stone lined pit or tank used for the sedimentation of ores, and there has to be a plentiful water source nearby. In this case the buddle would have to been used to obtain lead which was mined locally, and the stream which runs through the combe provided ample water.text/html2009-08-24T17:39:52+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/6339Sharon Loxton51.225657 -2.640359ST5547 : Sunlight over Wells

A view from the southern slopes of the Mendip escarpment. The towers of Wells Cathedral can be seen, although most of the city itself is nestled in the valley out of sight. The ridge in the middle distance is Launcherly Hill.text/html2009-08-24T17:33:12+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/6339Sharon Loxton51.225498 -2.668854ST5347 : Looking over the Somerset Levels

In the foreground is a Bowl Barrow. This is one of a pair of bowl barrows (the photographer was standing on the other) which, along with 7 other round barrows, make up Priddy Nine Barrows. In the distance is Ashen Hill and 6 of the 8 Ashen Hill Barrows can be seen there silhouetted against the wood.text/html2009-08-18T19:18:19+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/6339Sharon Loxton51.261144 -2.662206ST5351 : Priddy Nine Barrows

This photo shows 7 of the Priddy Nine Barrows. The remaining 2 are on a different alignment and behind the photographer. The Barrows are a Bronze Age cemetery and are on open ground at just over 300m above sea level.text/html2009-08-18T17:59:20+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/6339Sharon Loxton51.258834 -2.673064ST5351 : Swildon's Hole
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1448070
Inside the stone blockhouse is a small triangular hole in the ground, and this is the entrance to Swildon's Hole. The cave contains an active streamway which eventually resurges at Wookey Hole Caves. This was proved in the 1930s by the use of dyes.text/html2009-08-18T17:48:50+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/6339Sharon Loxton51.262318 -2.676985ST5251 : Priddy Pool
