About Edithmead

Edithmead, a quiet hamlet in Somerset, breathes the subtle, salty air of the Somerset Levels, a landscape shaped by water and sky. It lies 2.3 km east of Burnham-on-Sea (from Burnham-on-Sea: bearing 93°T, OS grid ST 329 491), and is situated north-north-east of Highbridge village. The fields around Edithmead, often a patchwork of greens and golds under the wide, pearly sky, are a testament to the enduring agricultural spirit of this low-lying land, where drainage ditches mirror the pathways of ancient watercourses. The gentle undulations of the terrain, barely perceptible to the casual eye, speak of a long history of reclamation and cultivation, a quiet struggle against the encroaching tides. Even on a still day, a faint whisper of the nearby coast seems to caress the air, a reminder of the sea's ever-present influence. The houses of Edithmead, modest and sturdy, seem to have grown organically from the earth, their brick and stone weathered by countless seasons.
