Ash Somerset Map

About Ash

Ash, a small Somerset hamlet, breathes the hushed air of the South West. It lies 5.7 km north-east of South Petherton (from South Petherton: bearing 48°T, OS grid ST 474 206), and is situated east-south-east of Stapleton village. The gentle slope of the land here suggests a quiet permanence, a place where the chalk downs begin their long, slow descent towards the Bristol Channel. Ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and wild rose, trace the boundaries of fields that have felt the plough for centuries, their rough textures catching the diffused light of English skies. The houses of Ash, predominantly stone and slate, seem to absorb the very colour of the earth, presenting a muted harmony against the vibrant green of the surrounding countryside. A sense of quiet industry, perhaps the ghost of some forgotten agricultural trade, still lingers in the air, a subtle perfume of soil and sun.
