When you plan a visit to John Leach’s
Pottery on the southern fringe of the
ancient village of Muchelney, allow time to
discover the secrets of the surrounding
Somerset Levels... water-flanked lanes,
thatch-roofed villages, beautiful churches,
flourishing traditional crafts, grand houses
and gardens, welcoming pubs - and a silence
you can almost hear.
You may also like to explore and stroll
around John’s pond, a County
Wildlife Site, which has been featured
several times in television programmes - but
if
the weather’s wet, don't forget your
wellies! |
