Doulting Somerset Map

About Doulting

Doulting, a village of quiet resilience, draws its character from the gentle Mendip Hills. It lies 3.0 km east of Shepton Mallet (from Shepton Mallet: bearing 94°T, OS grid ST 648 432), and is situated west of Cranmore village. The very air here seems to hold a certain luminescence, particularly in the late afternoon, as sunlight catches the weathered stone of its cottages, lending them a honeyed glow. Historically, Doulting was a place of some importance, its ancient springs, the Doulting Great Spring, once believed to have healing properties, feeding the River Sheppey that meanders through the surrounding fields like a silver ribbon. The village church, St. Mary's, stands as a stoic sentinel, its sturdy Norman architecture a testament to centuries of devotion and local craftsmanship, its bells perhaps still carrying the echoes of forgotten parish life. Today, Doulting retains a tranquil atmosphere, a place where the rustle of leaves and the distant bleating of sheep form the prevailing soundtrack, a subtle counterpoint to the enduring strength of its past.
