If you're looking for a new place to visit this summer, then the village of Rickford could be for you. An idyllic spot in the North Somerset countryside, it boasts stunning scenery, spots to eat, stay the night, soak in a bit of history and even - on one day a year - race ducks.
As you venture in via the A368, you'll pass a 19th century 'Swiss Style' chapel, which boasts it's own fairytale-esque pond and streaming waterfall. The Grade II listed Methodist chapel was built in 1888 and sits right on the edge of Rickford Pond, acting as a striking focal point in all seasons - you'll definitely want to get your camera out and take a snap.
The chapel actually sits in the Parish of Burrington, with a history that dates back to the Saxon Era and originally belonging to the Manor of Wrington. Wrington was apparently gifted to Duke Ethelfrith, in 904AD by King Edward, who was the son of Alfred the Great.
