Bishopswood, a quiet scattering of houses, breathes the mellow air of Somerset. It lies 7.4 km west-north-west of Chard (from Chard: bearing 303°T, OS grid ST 259 127), and is situated west-south-west of Buckland St Mary village. The lanes here wind with a gentle insistence, often bordered by hedgerows thick with the promise of summer berries, their green depths holding the cool, damp scent of earth. A faint echo of past agricultural toil can be felt in the carefully tended fields that stretch towards the horizon, their surfaces catching the pale, diffused light of the South West. The quietude of Bishopswood is its own kind of music, a subtle melody played out in the rustle of leaves and the distant bleating of sheep, a place where time seems to move at the pace of a contented sigh.
