Rickford Gloucestershire Map

About Rickford

Rickford breathes a quiet charm on the Gloucestershire landscape. It lies 7.3 km north-east of Axbridge (from Axbridge: bearing 47°T, OS grid ST 485 594), and is situated east of Burrington village. The gentle slopes of the Mendip Hills here lend a softened grandeur to the surrounding fields, where the quality of light, especially in the late afternoon, seems to catch the very dew upon the grass. This small cluster of dwellings, a place where the present day walks with a measured tread, carries the faint echo of generations past, their lives unfolding against this same serene backdrop. The air, often carrying the scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, speaks of a connection to the land that persists even now. Rickford, in its unassuming way, offers a glimpse into a timeless rural existence.
