This morning we woke up to something banging on the side of our camper van. One of the local Galloway Cattle had obviously whacked the van with its tail.

The road from Selworthy Beacon leads to Bossington Hill where it comes to a dead end.

From the end of the road there are marvellous views over Porlock Bay looking west towards the Devon border.

We reluctantly moved on. Firstly to Brean Down just south of Weston Super Mare which proved to be static caravan seaside hell and we quickly left. We are tonight at a car park by Nympsfield Long Barrow (neolithic burial mound built about 4500 years ago) on the edge of the Cotswolds looking over the Severn Estuary.

The long barrow is just a few yards away.

There are apparently about 100 neolithic long barrows in the Cotswolds.

I think that this must be one of the Government's target areas for the mass killing of badgers. We saw this poster on a derelict building nearby which just about says it all.

The long barrow is surrounded by a beautiful herb rich meadow.
