Bodden Somerset Map

About Bodden

Bodden lies tranquilly in the Mendip Hills, a place where the quietude of the land seems to absorb the very light. It lies 2.2 km east-north-east of Shepton Mallet (from Shepton Mallet: bearing 76°T, OS grid ST 639 440), and is situated north-west of Doulting village. The air here often carries the faint scent of damp earth and distant hedgerows, a subtle perfume that speaks of the surrounding agricultural landscape. The houses of Bodden, often built from the honey-coloured local stone, seem to emerge organically from the gentle slopes, their roofs softened by time and lichen. There is a certain peace that settles over Bodden, an unhurried quality that reflects the slow turning of the seasons and the enduring nature of the countryside. The subtle murmur of nearby streams, almost a whisper, contributes to the profound sense of stillness.
