Locking, a quiet corner of Gloucestershire, breathes with the soft light of the South West. It lies 4.6 km east-south-east of Weston-super-Mare (from Weston-super-Mare: bearing 108°T, OS grid ST 364 597), and is situated north-west of Elborough village. The land around Locking unfolds with a gentle, unassuming grace, a landscape that has long been tended by the farmer's hand. Though the sea is not far, its briny whisper is tempered here by the rich scent of cultivated earth, a subtle perfume that hangs in the air on a still afternoon. The houses of Locking, many built of stone that has weathered the seasons into a warm, honeyed hue, seem to huddle together as if sharing ancient secrets. The village green, a patch of resilient grass, bears the faint, almost imperceptible imprint of generations who have walked and played upon it.
