Give the train drivers a wave

Lots of history and worth a mooch about

Lovely view on a clear day across to the Mump

Great view of the railway bridge and through the ironwork across the moorland

There is a tearoom / eatery called the Lock Inn on the left hand bank. Access over the bridge.

Great cafe, Good Coffee, Friendly, Indoor Outdoor Seating, also undercover seating, riverside view

Excellent food, either really good sandwiches or main meals. Very decent local beers and ciders. Well worth a detour but closed Monday and Tuesday

The monument at Athelney commemorates King Alfred the Greats occupation of the monastery and fort here in the late 800's. He is said to have hidden here when the rest of England was occupied by the Danes, Athelney at that time was a low-lying island within the Somerset levels. Alfred later raised an army and defeated the occupying forces at the battle of Edington in May 878.
