To E or not to E?

Well, certainly the first drive I took to an 'E' turned out to be not to E!  It didn't seem to exist!  A couple of weeks ago I drove to Ebbor Gorge, near Wookey Hole - well I had hoped to.  It looked lovely on the website! But I think that the post code on the website was wrong. I double checked it and checked it again when I got home.  My sat nav said "You have reached your destination!"  I replied to it saying "I don't think I have!"  With that the rain came down and I pressed 'Home' on the sat nav, asking it to direct me home! Mission not accomplished, but it took me via Street, so I did accomplish a bit of shopping on the way!

So, today I needed to find another 'E' place. There are not that many around here and I needed it to be fairly local as I was not able to set out until mid afternoon.

I decided upon driving to Enmore, just 8 miles from home.  I have never actually heard of it before, but am glad that I discovered it as I browsed a map of Somerset the other evening.

There are several ways to get to it from Taunton, but the way that I chose was the one that leads off the road to Bridgwater, before you get to North Petherton from Taunton.  The drive through some lovely, very narrow country lanes brought me out at the bottom of this long village.  Cheekily I parked in the large pub car park of the Enmore Inn, intending to go in there at the end of my walk for some refreshment.

Had I not had a substantial lunch at home before going over to Enmore, I may well have tried one of their Sunday carveries.  The car park was very full, so its a good indication that the food was probably fabulous as their name banner boasts!  Maybe another day I will try it!

From the pub I followed the road up through this beautiful Quantock village. Its a very long village I discovered as I walked through it.  Its a perfect village for a spring Sunday afternoon stroll and I noticed that there were many public foot paths leading through fields around the village.  Limited for time, I just stuck to the road.   My walking was accompanied with the sound of singing birds and bleeting sheep and bright, dancing daffodils lined my route.

At the top of the village is the church and the castle and another pub.

I will end this short posting with some more pictures of the village, as it was today on this beautiful early spring afternoon.

Prettiness!

This place was packed with Golfers enjoying the spring sunshine 

This dosn't really do any justice to just how green the fields were!

There were lots of green fields in this village

The only bit of the castle I saw!

Prettiness!
