About Green Ore

Green Ore commands a high, windswept ridge of the Mendip plateau, where the horizon feels vast and brittle under the shifting Somerset skies. It lies 3.4 miles north-north-east of Wells (from Wells: bearing 33°T, OS grid ST 578 502), and is situated north of West Horrington village. The earth here holds the deep memory of lead mining, a legacy that once scarred the soil but now leaves the land open to the scouring winds. Ancient earthworks ripple across the nearby fields, where the Three Bowl Barrows at Green Ore stand as silent, grassy sentinels guarding the secrets of a prehistoric horizon. The light in Green Ore has a singular, piercing clarity, often catching the pale limestone walls of the local architecture before the shadows stretch long and thin toward the Mendip Forest. Travellers passing through might notice the quiet hum of the landscape, a stark contrast to the heavy, stone-laden gravity of the nearby cathedral city. Despite the encroaching silence of the countryside, the spirit of Green Ore remains tethered to the rugged, exposed character of the high Mendip plateau.
