Backwell Green emerges from the gentle folds of the Somerset countryside. It lies 2.5 km east-south-east of Nailsea (from Nailsea: bearing 119°T, OS grid ST 495 695), and is situated north of Farleigh village. Here, the air carries a faint, earthy perfume, a legacy of the surrounding farmland that has long sustained this quiet hamlet. The cottages, their stone walls softened by time and lichen, seem to absorb the pale afternoon sun, their roofs a patchwork of weathered slate. Though not a centre of grand commerce, Backwell Green possesses a tranquil beauty, a place where the slow turning of seasons dictates the gentle rhythm of life, and the distant call of a curlew might be the most startling sound.
