The main A361 route from Taunton to Glastonbury at Burrowbridge now under 5 feet of water at the Basket and Crafts Centre. Most of the Somerset Levels is flooded.

Wonderful walk around the Somerset Levels. Explored the area around Burrowbridge and Athelney, walking along parts of the River Parrett and Tone. Nice to see flocks of Lapwing and occasional Snipe enjoying the flooded fields.

Gentle walk from #Athelney Farm, with a permissive path up to Alfred’s abbey (879AD), following the East Deane Way along the River Tone until it meets the River Parrott at #Burrowbridge and the King Alfred pub, with a nice return route through the village

Mr AL and I have had an afternoon out-out.
Pub lunch at Burrowbridge, smooch round the Levels in new (electric!) car, sat in the RSPB nature reserve with the herons and fiddled with the birdsong id app, sang Pink Pony Club on the way home. #SmallJoys

Yes. Places like Burrowbridge are particularly susceptible. It is surrounded by Rhynes; a system of man made drainage ditches to control water levels in land historically known to be prone to flooding.

If you are planning a slow trip to Hestercombe then the route we sometimes take makes a nice journey. Bridport to Langport, coffee by the R Parrett at the Wharf then to Burrowbridge, option to climb the Mump. Then the A361/A38 to Taunton on the north side so avoiding the A358 race track

This one is from Burrowbridge, Somerset, now under flood water, as it is most winters. It has a thick, iron stained, surface from hundreds of thousands of years of being moved around the landscape by water.
The maker knapped around a natural indent in the chert that makes a perfect thumb grip. 🏺
