King Sedgemoor, (1 Note)

King Sedgemoor, (1 Note)
Boundary Rhine runs parallel with the King Sedgemoor Drain, although controlled by sluices water from the Rhyne is allowed to flow into the drain at a number of places, this shot is of the outfall at Greylake on King's Sedgemoor.

The Somerset Levels have an area of about 160,000 acres (650 km2) and are bisected by the Polden Hills; the areas to the south are drained by the River Parrett, and the areas to the north by the rivers Axe and Brue. The Mendip Hills separate the Somerset Levels from the North Somerset Levels. The Somerset Levels consist of marine clay "levels" along the coast and inland peat-based "moors"; agriculturally, about 70 per cent is used as grassland and the rest is arable. Willow and teazel are grown commercially and peat is extracted. (Wikipedia)

To give an idea of the drainage system on the levels I have added a previously posted screen grab from openstreemap,

Large view perhaps,,,,,,,,,,,, Wish you all a nice Friday and a good weekend

I LIVED IN THE FENS ALONG THE EAST SIDE THE OTHER COAST !

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Pam J club
Thank you, Pam, I do know the Fens quite well but the Somerset moors are closer to sea level and are allowed to flood when rquired,
It used to be a quiet place to walk and chat to other folk, but now you have watch out for cyclists who use the levels as a race track.

An interesting system to make the land usable. We are starting to irrigate former moors again - for environmental reasons...
A great picture from this beautiful landscape nevertheless...

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Gudrun club
Many thanks Gudrun, Many a winter the levels are allowed to flood it then becomes a safety valve for much of the county. The main railway line runs across on an embankment and in places is at times the only land above water.

A wonderfully verdant landscape Roger..............it looks beautiful in the sunshine and it's good to see the sheep and cattle grazing nearby. Superbly composed as well.

I'm guessing the Levels must be a perfect haven for all sorts of wildlife, especially birds.

The PiP shows the incredibly complicated drainage system very well.
