Nunney Village Somerset England.

Nunney is a village and civil parish near Frome in the Mendip local government district within the English county of Somerset. The parish includes the hamlet of Holwell.
The name of the village comes from Old English and means Nunna's island.
Today, the tourist attractions are the ruins of Nunney Castle, a historic church, and ducks wandering the streets near the river. The village hall is host to Nunney Acoustic Cafe which provides live music, homemade food, a bar and children's art activities on the second Sunday of each month (except July and August).
On 30 September 2007, Nunney was the subject of a BBC Radio 4 report, asking whether the prettiest village in England is a place where we can learn how to mend our broken society.
Evidence of Roman settlement has been provided by the discovery of a hoard of Roman coins in 1869 at Westdown Farm and a villa with a mosaic floor.
Nunney is mentioned as a manor belonging to William de Moyon in the Domesday Book in 1086, but the book does not mention a castle.
The parish was part of the hundred of Frome.
For many years, from the medieval period until the 19th century, Nunney was the site of water-powered mills owned initially by the Hoddinotts and then by James Fussell.

Pensford in Somerset, England from the air (DJI Phantom 3)

Drone / aerial footage of Pensford in Somerset, England.

View my other aerial videos -

Between the 14th and 16th centuries Pensford was a cloth centre using local wool. The name Pensford, is believed to come from the old english pens by the ford as in animal pens by a river crossing. Later in the 19th and 20th centuries the industry had turned to coal mining, this came to an end in 1955.

The viaduct featured in the video opened in 1874 and carried the Bristol and North Somerset Railway over the river Chew. It officially closed in 1968 following flood damage.

I will make a full orbit of the viaduct available on my Youtube channel in the near future.
