About Barton

Barton breathes the quiet air of Gloucestershire, a hamlet where the land rolls gently towards the Mendip Hills. It lies 4.2 km west-north-west of Axbridge (from Axbridge: bearing 301°T, OS grid ST 395 567), and is situated north-north-west of Compton Bishop village. Here, the fields, often a patchwork of verdant greens and ripening golds, seem to hold a profound stillness, broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the murmur of a passing breeze through ancient hedgerows. The light, especially in the late afternoon, possesses a honeyed quality, bathing the stone walls of the scattered cottages in a warm, inviting glow. Barton itself is a place of modest charm, its few dwellings clustered around a quiet lane, suggesting a continuity of life that has weathered many seasons.
