Somerset Man WalkingI take a look inside Aveline's Hole, a cave at the foot of the Mendip Hills. Aveline's Hole is a cave at Burrington Combe in the limestone of the Mendip Hills. The earliest scientifically dated cemetery in Britain was found at Aveline's Hole. The human bone fragments it contained, from about 21 different individuals, are thought to be between roughly 10,200 and 10,400 years old.
A series of inscribed crosses found on the wall of the Aveline's Hole cave are believed to date from the early Mesolithic period just after the Ice Age. The pattern is said to be comparable with others known from Northern France, Germany and Denmark." A gate has been installed in the cave to protect the engraving, after consultations between English Heritage and other interested parties, including the landowner and English Nature.

There are no HMS (Her Majesty's Ship) Starfish connections to these sites; rather, the decoy site was named for the overall program. While the effectiveness of the Mendip site is debated, the Starfish program overall diverted thousands of bombs from actual cities, saving many lives.Blorenge and Keepers pond. ,The Brecon Beacons.Somerset Man Walking2025-09-28 | In This Video, i take a Circular walk from Fox Hunters Car park to Blorenge trig point at 561 meters above sea level i meet a fellow walker called Olly who walks with me to the Trig, we then go our separate ways and i continue on my walk at Keepers Pond.

The video ends at Iwood lane where there was a level Crossing. Part 2 yet to be filmed is far more walkable and i have much more local knowledge and Land owners permissions. The old line is very important to me as my Father was Born at Burrington Station House, a Station along the line. Him and his Siblings were named the Railway Children. This section of the Line was very difficult and sometimes frustrating to Film because of the private land and growth of nature reclaiming it back. i did my best but am looking forward to filming part 2.
