St Pancras Chapel nestles in a river valley within earshot of the river Washford. On each side the landscape gently rises to meet fields and countryside. This video was taken during a walk on the side nearest Washford Station, a stop on the West Somerset Railway heritage line on which steam trains ply between Bishops Lydeard and Minehead. Even in October, the wild meadow flowers remain resplendent, especially the poppies. In the background you can hear Molly the dog chattering away.
