Somerset in Pictures: Sun and Glastonbury clean-up

It was another hot and sunny week in Somerset

As Glastonbury Festival came to an end, the sun kept shining over the county.

People in Castle Cary made a range of different scare crows, including Spongebob and Harry Kane, while young grebes were spotted on the Somerset Levels.

Here's a roundup of the best pictures across Somerset this week.

What's left of Glastonbury: On Monday, thousands of music fans headed home as Glastonbury Festival came to an end for another year. A team of volunteers cleaned the site to prepare the land for a fallow year in 2026.

Cricket match: Matt Henry of Somerset played a shot during Day Two of the Rothesay County Championship Division One match between Somerset and Nottinghamshire at the Cooper Associates County Ground.

Rolling hills: The fog rising in Dulverton was captured by Ali on Exmoor this week.

Ugly ducklings: Young great crested grebes hitched a ride from their parent on the Somerset Levels.

Not so scary: Castle Cary residents have made more than 120 scarecrows for the Britain in Bloom competition, which will be assessed by Royal Horticultural Society judges on Thursday. Feathers McGraw, Spongebob and Harry Kane are among those lining the streets of a town hoping to be recognised for its community efforts.

Beaver dams: Conservationists have said restoring rivers on Exmoor to a natural state and introducing beavers can help make landscapes resilient to the increasing risk of drought.
