About Coleford Water

Coleford Water, a quiet hamlet in Somerset, holds a stillness that seems to absorb the very essence of the surrounding countryside. It lies 7.0 km north-north-east of Wiveliscombe (from Wiveliscombe: bearing 28°T, OS grid ST 114 339), and is situated north-west of Lydeard St Lawrence village. The landscape here, a gentle swell of fields that catch the afternoon sun with a soft, golden hue, embraces Coleford Water, suggesting a continuity of pastoral life. A small, unnamed stream, more a whisper of water than a rush, meanders through the periphery, its banks often fringed with the deep green velvet of moss. The houses themselves, built of local stone that has weathered to a pleasing grey, seem to have grown organically from the earth, their roofs a patchwork of slate and tile that speaks of generations tending to them. There is a palpable sense of quietude, a slow unfolding of time that is characteristic of these less-trodden corners of the South West, where the land itself feels as if it holds ancient, unhurried stories.
