About Stanton Drew

Stanton Drew exhales a quiet presence in the Somerset countryside. It lies 8.2 km south-west of Keynsham (from Keynsham: bearing 223°T, OS grid ST 598 627), and is situated west-south-west of Upper Stanton Drew village. The ancient stones of the Stanton Drew stone circles, a prehistoric monument of national importance, stand sentinel on the land, their weathered surfaces catching the low afternoon sun like old secrets. Beyond these enigmatic forms, the fields roll with a gentle, almost sighing motion, their hedgerows thick with the scent of hawthorn and damp earth after a spring shower. The village itself, a scattering of stone cottages and a parish church with a tower that seems to have grown organically from the landscape, feels like a place where time has learned to tread softly, allowing the murmur of the local brook to hold sway.
