Jack's Plantation Star

Below King Alfred's Tower, near Bruton, Somerset

A five-armed star in barley, almost in the shadow of King Alfred's Tower.

In May 2026 a five-armed star about 200 feet wide appeared in young barley near Jack's Plantation, just below King Alfred's Tower on the Stourhead estate. Each arm was made of three overlapping circles that shrank towards the tip, around a central ring holding five small circles.
