More about this scene
The A46 from Bath can be seen snaking down into Nailsworth, which lies at the meeting place of three steep and wooded valleys. Describing the town in 1826, William Cobbett wrote: 'Here are a series of spots every one of which a lover of landscapes would like to have painted. Even the buildings of the factories are not ugly.' Water power was used to drive woollen mills well into the 19th century. Today, many of the former mills have been put to other uses as industrial units or as retail outlets.
