    And just outside of Frome is Vallis Vale. A SSSI sight. One of the only places where you can see the meeting of 2 platonic plates meeting each other diagonally.

    We get ‘em all here, don’t you know. There’s a caravan camp site just outside. Perhaps you could all come and look for yourselves.
