Broadshard Somerset Map

About Broadshard

Broadshard, a quiet hamlet in Somerset, breathes the gentle air of the South West. It lies 1.2 km north of Crewkerne (from Crewkerne: bearing 9°T, OS grid ST 443 109). The surrounding fields, a patchwork of greens and golds under the broad Somerset sky, suggest a history deeply rooted in the cultivation of the land, where the slow, patient growth of crops has long dictated the village's cadence. A sense of enduring peace pervades Broadshard, a quietude that might be traced to the ancient ley lines said to converge in this part of England, or perhaps simply to the enduring solidity of the stone cottages that have weathered centuries of sun and rain. The nearby River Axe, a silver thread winding through the landscape, offers a constant, murmuring reminder of the flow of time and the persistent life force of the countryside.
