Curry Rivel, Somerset
Curry Rivel is a large village near Langport on the south western edge of the Somerset Levels. You'd be surprised what you can do here - fill up with petrol at the garage, stock up with provisions at the local shops, buy a wood-burner, and have stone baked pizza at the Firehouse. The village is a good starting point for walks, leaving from the car park; stroll up the lane to the village green, surrounded by centuries old thatched cottages and the church of St. Andrew. From there you can do a great 4 mile circular that takes you across the fields and up through the woods to the Burton Pynsent monument, which makes an excellent spot for a breather as the views from are incredible, stretching out across the Levels for miles and miles. Enroute you go along a drove where you look down upon a wetland nature reserve that's home to flocks of migratory birds, so it wouldn't hurt to have your binoculars tucked in your pocket.
