Bishops Lydeard stands where the Quantock Hills begin their gentle rise from the Somerset Levels. It lies 7.3 km north-west of Taunton (from Taunton: bearing 310°T, OS grid ST 168 291), and is situated east-south-east of Ash Priors village. The stone of its older cottages, warmed by the sun, seems to hold the memory of generations of farmers and wool merchants who once passed through this crossroads. A quiet dignity pervades the village, from the solid presence of its parish church, St Mary's, whose tower has long been a landmark on the horizon, to the modest but neat front gardens that line its lanes. Even the air here, carrying the faint scent of damp earth and distant livestock, feels different, a subtle testament to its deep rural roots. The nearby Quantock Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offer a wilder beauty, a contrast to the cultivated fields that surround Bishops Lydeard itself.
