About The Folly

The Folly emerges as a quiet cluster of stone dwellings upon the limestone ridges that define the Gloucestershire landscape. It lies 5.0 miles north of Bath (from Bath: bearing 359°T, OS grid ST 750 729), and is situated north of Cold Ashton village. Pale, honey-coloured masonry absorbs the morning sun, reflecting a warmth that lingers long after the shadows of the nearby trees have lengthened across the trackways. To the west, the slopes of Tog Hill rise to meet the horizon, acting as a silent sentinel over the fields that have been worked by hand for generations. Beyond the immediate pastures, the diverse flora of the St. Catherine's Valley Sssi thrives in a damp, sheltered microclimate that fosters an almost ethereal stillness. The Folly maintains a character defined by the rugged topography of the Cotswolds, where the wind carries the scent of turned earth and wild thyme. Even in the height of summer, the air retains a crisp, bracing quality that speaks to the elevation of the high ground. The Folly remains a singular point of permanence in a landscape that shifts its hues with the turning of the seasons.
