Cat Tail, a quiet hamlet, hums with the muted life of the Somerset countryside. It lies 2.6 km north-north-west of Chard (from Chard: bearing 328°T, OS grid ST 307 108), and is situated north-west of Wadeford village. The fields around Cat Tail, often bathed in a soft, diffused light that filters through the prevailing cloud cover, are a patchwork of verdant greens and earthy browns, the soil itself seeming to hold a deep, quiet memory of generations of cultivation. The gentle slope of the land, a subtle rise towards the distant Blackdown Hills, offers a sense of expansive, yet contained, beauty. Here, the air carries the faint, sweet scent of damp earth and distant hedgerows, a perfume unique to this particular corner of England. The occasional farmstead, its stone walls weathered to a pleasing grey, speaks of a continuity that transcends the fleeting concerns of modern life.
