Buckland Down Somerset Map

About Buckland Down

Buckland Down breathes the quiet dignity of the Somerset countryside. It lies 4.5 km south-east of Radstock (from Radstock: bearing 130°T, OS grid ST 723 519), and is situated south-south-west of Faulkland village. The land here rolls with a gentle, unassuming grace, the fields often divided by ancient hedgerows that speak of centuries of patient cultivation. The light, when it catches the slopes, can possess a particular softness, lending a golden hue to the arable land and the scattered farmsteads. This is a place where the sky feels expansive, a vast canvas over which clouds drift with a stately, unhurried pace. The air itself seems to carry the faint scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, a testament to its enduring agricultural character.
