About Townsend

Townsend, a quiet corner of Gloucestershire, carries the muted colours of the Mendip Hills. It lies 9.5 km west-north-west of Midsomer Norton (from Midsomer Norton: bearing 283°T, OS grid ST 571 563), and is situated north-east of East Harptree village. The land here gently slopes, a patchwork of fields where the sky seems to lean in a little closer, especially in the soft light of late afternoon. Old stone walls, weathered to the colour of pale honey, divide these fields, their surfaces a rough comfort to the touch, hinting at generations of hands that have mended them. A faint scent of damp earth and wild garlic often drifts on the breeze, a subtle perfume of the surrounding countryside. Though no grand monuments mark its presence, Townsend possesses a quiet dignity, a place where the passage of seasons is the most keenly felt clock.
