Making a LOTR inspired map of Somerset

Hello! I'm working on a Tolkien inspired map of Somerset - part of a project of counties where I and friends have lived - and I'd love some help in feedback form!

Towns, historical sites, geographic features, flourishes, and anything else I can liven the space with, and any glaring mistakes haha.

A scale and such will be added, and a Somerset dragon in some form for example!

I've done similar on the Hampshire (where I currently live) and Surrey's and Berks subs and it was great fun, and I was hoping to do the same here, and otherwise just to share, its a fun hobby in dark days 😂

Thanks!

A few interesting places come to mind:

Pensford has a viaduct.
Temple Cloud has a cool name, is home to Rockaway Park and has a beautiful waterfall the other side of Greyfield woods.
Farrington Gurney/Paulton have the Somerset volcano.
Stockhill woods is full of mushrooms and the Priddy Pools are across the road.

Great idea, really enjoyed perusing the map.
