Hackness, a quiet collection of dwellings, finds its place in the Somerset landscape. It lies 4.4 km south-east of Burnham-on-Sea (from Burnham-on-Sea: bearing 143°T, OS grid ST 332 457), and is situated west-north-west of East Huntspill village. The land here, gently sloping towards the coast, carries the faint, salt-tinged breath of the Bristol Channel, a reminder of the proximity to the sea. The fields, often a patchwork of greens and golds depending on the season, are crisscrossed by ancient hedgerows, their thorny branches a testament to generations of careful husbandry. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-grey skies, has a particular softness here, catching the dew on the grasses and lending a subtle luminescence to the scene. The air itself seems to hold a certain stillness, broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the cry of a seabird carried inland.
