  • Travellers from across the West Country and beyond try out Romany carriages and horses at the ancient annual Priddy Sheep (and horse) fair in Somerset, England. Offloading the carriage, the men will parade around a field on the outskirts of the village, hoping to sell the vehicle. Set in the Mendip Hills, in the south-western English county of Somerset, the Priddy Sheep fair is host to an odd mix of farmers and travellers (commonly and incorrectly known as gypsies). In this field set aside purely for travellers, many with West Country accents but also with nearby Welsh and Irish too, deals are done with a traditional spit on the hand and a smacking of palms, selling a pony to another family. The Priddy Sheep Fair moved from the city of Wells in 1348 because of the Black Death.

  • Three silhouetted walkers (two women and one male) near the top of a hill near the village of Churchill, North Somerset, England. The image has only three tones, graduating from dark at the bottom, becoming lighter to the top. It is late in the day and the light is soft and warm in colour and the friends make their way up the gradient in single-file, each striding with legs apart as they climb the hill forming part of the Mendips. It is a scene of tranquillity, the landscape is peaceful and unspoilt for outdoor countryside pursuits like walking, one of the fastest-growing leisure activities in Britain for people who take advantage of rural England.
