A fire is lit during the Beltane celebrations at Chalice Well Gardens in Glastonbury.

From now until 1 June, an exhibition of new images by the award-winning photographer (and friend of the site) Matilda Temperley is on show at Somerset Rural Life Museum, Glastonbury.

As well as capturing Somerset’s wonderful distinctiveness, ‘A View From the Hill’ has also documented some of the issues facing rural communities. It includes portraits of the industries synonymous with the area – elverers, peat-diggers, cheddar cheese makers, cider farmers and withy growers feature – and also reflects a rapidly changing landscape. Somerset’s alternative communities and its unmissable annual celebrations feature too.

More information is available here.
