About Adscombe

Adscombe rests quietly where the Quantock Hills begin to soften their dramatic rise. It lies 11.5 km west of Bridgwater (from Bridgwater: bearing 274°T, OS grid ST 182 378), and is situated south-south-west of Nether Stowey village. The lanes that wind through Adscombe seem to follow the patient contour of the land, bordered by ancient hedgerows that hold the secrets of seasons past. A sense of enduring peace pervades the air, a gentle quietude broken only by the distant bleating of sheep on the higher pastures. The light here, particularly in the late afternoon, has a peculiar clarity, as if the very air has been distilled by the surrounding greenery. Though small, Adscombe possesses a certain dignity, a place where the simple continuity of rural life is its most profound characteristic.
