Log Text: I became fascinated by this site at an early age - I rarely fail to visit it when close and that meant monthly visits when I lived nearby - nicer (more peaceful) when the holidaymakers have gone home

The Golden Well (Dorstone) submitted by AJHL on 18th Feb 2023. The Golden Well. The bullrushes grow out of the pool which is overgrown and difficult to see. But you will know it when you suddenly drop in to it like I did! Thankfully no giant carp in sight.

Log Text: Take one stable owner with several reels of electric fencing making horse pens, combine him/her with the local badger community and what do you get? - a seriously damaged round/bell barrow fast becoming an eyesore - never mind the potential for an electric shock even on the Public Footpath!!! Pity because the older part of Bitton can be quite pretty - never mind the Boyd and Avon Valleys
