I do like a bench with a view.  This one is on top of Broadway Hill over looking Westbury-sub-Mendip. As its names implies this village is nestled beneath the Mendip Hills of Somerset.

The bench does have a great view.

It also has a great view early in the morning, looking the other way.

More Benches

There are lots of benches dotted around the countryside.  This is one at the top of Mudgley Hill is one of my favourites.

And finally…

Not all benches have a great view.  Like this one in Wedmore, where they give up keeping that hedge under control a long time ago.

If it did have a great view this would be it, as taken peering over the same hedge just down the road.
