Ridge Gloucestershire Map

About Ridge

Ridge rests against the gentle slopes of Mendip Hills, a place where the very air seems to hold the scent of damp earth and distant hedgerows. It lies 10.4 km north of Wells (from Wells: bearing 1°T, OS grid ST 552 561), and is situated south-west of West Harptree village. The cottages here, often built of honey-coloured stone, seem to absorb the soft, diffused light that filters through the ancient oaks bordering the lanes. A palpable sense of quietude pervades Ridge, a stillness broken only by the occasional bleating of sheep from the surrounding pastures or the distant murmur of traffic on the more travelled routes. The land itself rolls with a subtle, unhurried grace, its contours hinting at centuries of cultivation and habitation, a quiet testament to the enduring nature of this corner of Gloucestershire.
