Queens Sedge Moor

The weather forecast has been a bit hit and miss over the Christmas period.  But mist was forecast for today so I had to find a few minutes to visit Queen’s Sedge Moor between Wells and Glastonbury.  It was a bit of a hurry and I ran from location to location.  It was worth the effort as it the mist was beautiful.

Long Drove – the gateway to the moor – is called the longest road in the world by my family.  Its straight and flat across the moor.  But it is far from smooth.  A continuous series of cracks and ridges sometimes makes this road feel more like a railway track than a road (it has got better recently when some of it was re-surfaced).

The mist lingered only a few feet above the moor.
