East Water whispers on the Mendip Hills, a place where ancient earth breathes secrets under the wide Somerset sky. It lies 5.3 km north-north-west of Wells (from Wells: bearing 347°T, OS grid ST 537 508), and is situated east of Priddy village. The very air here seems to hold a certain golden luminescence, a quality that catches the subtle undulations of the surrounding landscape, hinting at the old drovers' routes that once crisscrossed these undulating expanses. The stone of its few dwellings, weathered by countless seasons, absorbs the soft western light, giving East Water a quiet, enduring dignity. Here, the wind carries the scent of wild thyme and damp earth, a perfume that has lingered since times long past, when this land was a different kind of frontier.
