Alford rests quietly in the Somerset countryside. It lies 3.6 km west of Castle Cary (from Castle Cary: bearing 267°T, OS grid ST 604 322), and is situated north-east of Lovington village. The fields surrounding Alford often hold the pale gold of ripening wheat under a wide, impartial sky. Here, the hedgerows are thick with hawthorn and the air carries the scent of damp earth after a spring shower. A handful of cottages cluster around a modest green, their stone walls weathered by countless seasons. The local land, gently rolling, speaks of generations who have worked its soil, their lives a quiet echo in the landscape.
