  Before and after: has this land always been so neat?

Over the last eight years a considerable amount of sweat and money has gone into transforming this bankrupt and run-down farm. Here are just a few pictures to show what has been achieved. On the left shows wired up stiles and paths, dumped cars and an overgrown quad bike. To the right is what has been achieved and what every member of the public can enjoy now (at no cost to our purses), while at the bottom of the page is Work in Progres. Shouldn't Somerset County Council be awarding a Certificate of Commendation?

  Here are some photos that show the £40,000 investment in draining and laying new paths throughout the estate. Overgrown trees and undergrowth cleared, all paths drained and relaid, new hedges and 2000 tress planted.
