Ubley Warren,

Ubley Warren,
Autumn on the Mendip Hills at Ubley Warren.
The rough and uneven ground is a result of lead workings which started during the Iron Age and carried on during the Roman occupation of Britain when mining activity significantly increased. Mining continued until the late 19th Century.

In 16.9 format so a large view would be appreciated.

A nicely detailed image and information Roger, No wonder there is little in the way of trees, lead being a pretty toxic element.

Oh MY! This is just LOVELY!! Wonderful at full size, as you have said. The natural textures of the ground are super. Love the composition of this image as well, and reading about the history here is interesting--I'd never ever have thought there'd been mining here!

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Janet Brien club
Thank you Janet, the ground has deep holes and old shafts in places so staying on the path-ways is recommended
