This picturesque moated medieval castle was built in the 1370s by Sir John de la Mare. It's heavily influenced by French design and features a compact layout with four round corner towers and thick defensice walls.

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.

The lower and upper Litton reservoirs were built in the 1850 s by the Bristol Waterworks Company. Today it's a peaceful place for a walk. Watch out for the wide variety of insects and birds who live here.

Built in the late 14th century by Sir John Delamare on the profits of his involvement in the Hundred Years War. https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/nunney-castle/

Great spot for a rest and a cuppa!

Ideal spot for a cuppa!

Lovely quiet lanes as an alternative to the main road to Chew Valley Lake some steep short climbs but worth it for the views and the lovely houses you go past.

A great alternative to the road this wide gravel road is beautiful and takes you alongside the lake- further, along the trail, there is a safe railway crossing then the path narrows but is still rideable.

Village fairs and music in the summer. Sneak into the castle in winter and put a hot brew on the stove for those cooler days. 😉

Lovely castle tucked away in the small village of Nunney

Awesome castle with moat and a pub opposite... the best combination... Oh and the chips are worth the trip washed down with a crisp Somerset cider!
