Fields at Westhay Across the foreground, the black line of material dredged up during ditching indicates the presence of peat in this area. The landscape is completely flat for two or three miles until the hill on which stands the prominent white house known as Castle Farm at Heath House. (The hill is locally known as the Isle of Wedmore, betraying a past when the Levels were all water.) Invisible in this picture, the River Brue runs between embankments, approximately where the red farm vehicle and cows are. It becomes very visible in times of flood.

Pillbox and River Brue. The River Brue was one of the important Stop Lines during the Second World War and there are a series of surviving pill boxes along its northern bank. http://www.pillboxesuk.co.uk/

Willows and Rhynes at Westhay The long straight drainage ditches on the Levels are known as 'rhynes' - possibly a Dutch derivation from the engineers who created this landscape? Willows, regularly cut back, are a traditional feature of this landscape, but in many places have been removed. Grant schemes have recently encouraged farmers to retain this landscape of pasture, rather than ploughing up for maize or other crops.
