Alvington Somerset Map

About Alvington

Alvington rests in a gentle fold of the Somerset landscape, a place where the sky seems to hold a particular pale gold in the late afternoon. It lies 3.0 km west of Yeovil (from Yeovil: bearing 275°T, OS grid ST 525 161), and is situated east-north-east of Odcombe village. The fields surrounding Alvington, often a rich, turned earth under the plough, give way to hedgerows thick with hawthorn and the occasional wild rose, their quiet persistence a balm to the eye. The houses here, many built of the local honey-coloured stone, seem to have grown organically from the soil, their roofs a warm, weathered grey. A small, unassuming church marks the heart of Alvington, its spire a slender finger pointing to the heavens. The air often carries the faint scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, a testament to the enduring rural rhythms of this corner of England.
