Towerhead, a quiet hamlet in Gloucestershire, exhales a gentle stillness that seems to absorb the very light. It lies 5.4 km north-north-west of Axbridge (from Axbridge: bearing 334°T, OS grid ST 407 594), and is situated east-north-east of Banwell village. The surrounding landscape, a tapestry of softly rolling fields, often catches the afternoon sun in a way that paints the distant hedgerows with a luminous gold. A faint whisper of the sea, carried on the prevailing westerly winds, occasionally touches the air, a reminder of its proximity to the Bristol Channel. The local stone, weathered by countless seasons, lends a timeless character to the few dwellings that comprise Towerhead, each seemingly holding its breath to listen to the passing clouds.
