  • Westhay is a village in Somerset, England. It is situated in the parish of Meare, 4 miles (6.4 km) north west of Glastonbury on the Somerset Levels, in the Mendip district. The name means 'The west field that is enclosed by hedges' from the Old English west and haga. The 'g' in haga is silent. Westhay is a marshland village on the River Brue in typical Somerset rhyne country, standing on the site of pre-historic lake dwellings. The site of the lake-village is marked by groups of mounds. The nearby Avalon Marshes Centre, where the RSPB, Natural England, Somerset Wildlife Trust and have offices and work bases to manage the local wildlife reserves, has replaced the old Peat Moors Centre which closed down in the autumn of 2009. It also includes a craft centre, cafe, several historic reconstructions and information about the local archeology. The prehistoric Sweet Track and Post Track run from the village southwards towards Shapwick. The village is close to Westhay Moor, Westhay Heath, RSPB Ham Wall and Shapwick Heath, all of which have been designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest. Westhay is well known as the site of the Starling Roost featured on many TV wildlife programmes. The roost is in National wildlife reserves such as Westhay Moor, Ham Wall and Shapwick Heath. The area also contains one third of the UK breeding population of Bitterns and the first known UK breeding populations of Great White Egret, Little Bittern, and Night Heron. (en)

  • Уэстхей (англ. Westhay) — деревня в графстве Сомерсет, Англия. Относится к церковно-приходскому округу Мир (en:Meare), в 6 км к северо-западу от Гластонбери на Сомерсетской равнине в округе Мендип. Название означает «Западное поле, окружённое изгородью» от древнеанглийского west+haga (в последнем слове буква 'g' — немая). Уэстхей — село, расположенное в болотистой местности на реке Брю (en:River Brue) на месте доисторического озёрного свайного поселения. От прежнего селения осталась группа курганов. В эпоху неолита деревня находилась на острове посреди озера, которое впоследствии высохло; на месте бывшего озера находится торфяное болото. К деревне через озеро вела доисторическая мощёная насыпная дорога, известная как Свит-Трек. Между Шэпвиком и Уэстхеем находится музей en:Peat Moors Centre («Центр торфяных болот»), посвящённый доисторическим временам в этой местности. (ru)
