Burton Somerset Map

About Burton

Burton, a scattering of homes in Somerset, holds its quiet position with a peculiar grace. It lies 3.3 km south-west of Yeovil (from Yeovil: bearing 221°T, OS grid ST 534 134), and is situated east-north-east of Holywell village. The land around Burton, a gentle swell of green, seems to hold the pale afternoon light as if it were a precious, half-forgotten memory. Ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and dog rose, trace the boundaries of fields that have yielded their harvests for centuries, their rich soil a dark, comforting presence beneath the thin veneer of grass. The modest parish church, its stone weathered by countless seasons, stands as a silent sentinel, its tower a familiar silhouette against the expansive, often bruised, Somerset sky. Here, the passing of time feels less like a march and more like the slow turning of a great, unseen wheel.
