EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Burrington Combe Limestone Gorge in Somerset during the early 20th century. The image, captured around the 1920s or 1930s, showcases a serene summer day as a lone motor car rests on the side of the road leading through this tranquil limestone valley. As we gaze at this picturesque scene, it is impossible not to be drawn into the beauty of nature surrounding Burrington Combe. Nestled within the northern side of Mendip Hills, this hidden gem offers an idyllic escape from bustling city life. The towering cliffs made of limestone create a dramatic backdrop against which lush greenery thrives. The vintage automobile parked by the roadside adds a touch of nostalgia to this timeless view. It serves as a reminder that even in those early days, people sought solace and adventure amidst these breathtaking landscapes. Stepping into this photograph feels like stepping back in time; one can almost hear birds chirping and feel warm sunlight filtering through leaves overhead. This glimpse into history allows us to appreciate both how much has changed since then and how some things remain constant – our desire for exploration and connection with nature's wonders. Preserved by STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), this remarkable print invites us to imagine ourselves embarking on an unforgettable journey through Burrington Combe's mystical gorge – where tranquility meets rugged grandeur amid Somerset's stunning Mendip Hills.
