A new noticeboard pinpointing various landmarks has been installed at a viewpoint in Backwell, thanks to a generous donation from Nailsea Lions Club.
The board was installed at the top of Badgers Wood, in Backwell, by volunteers from Backwell Environment Trust (BET).
From the viewpoint, you can see for almost 40 miles over the Bristol Channel and the Welsh Hills. Flat Holm, Steep Holm and the Principality Stadium in Cardiff are among the landmarks which can be spotted.

Sixty trees have been planted in Backwell s woodland after a generous donation from the village s Rotary club.
Backwell Environment Trust (BET) has to fell a number of trees this year due to ash dieback disease, so the donation of hazel saplings has been gratefully received.
BET manager Ian Chambers said: The donation of 60 hazel saplings by the Rotary club has been a big boost for us. With so many trees sadly having to be felled this year, it is a great feeling to know that we are now busy planting trees in the woodland which will very quickly replace the ones that have been lost.
