About Ashton

Ashton breathes quietly in the Somerset countryside, a place where the air often carries the scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke. It lies 5.1 km south-south-west of Axbridge (from Axbridge: bearing 200°T, OS grid ST 412 498), and is situated south-east of Chapel Allerton village. The gentle slopes of the Mendip Hills rise to the north, their ancient contours softened by the passage of seasons and the grazing of sheep, lending a timeless quality to the surrounding fields. Ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and bramble, trace the boundaries of land that has been worked for centuries, their tangled branches a haven for unseen birds. The cottages of Ashton, built from local stone whose colour shifts with the changing light, cluster around a modest green, a quiet heart to this collection of homes. A particular stillness often settles over Ashton, broken only by the soft bleating of livestock or the murmur of the breeze through the leaves of aged oak trees.
