About Ham

Ham breathes the quiet air of Somerset, a small cluster of homes where the land itself seems to exhale a gentle peace. It lies 2.7 km north-north-east of Burnham-on-Sea (from Burnham-on-Sea: bearing 28°T, OS grid ST 319 515), and is situated west of Brent Knoll village. The flat, fertile plains surrounding Ham, once likely a marshy frontier against the Bristol Channel, now offer a panorama of rich agricultural fields, their boundaries softened by hedgerows that catch the diffused light of the South West. In the distance, the distinctive hump of Brent Knoll rises, a landmark that has watched over this landscape for centuries, its slopes green and inviting. The houses of Ham, often rendered in local stone or brick, huddle together as if for warmth against the wide, often windswept sky, their gardens a riot of summer colour or a stark display of winter branches. Here, the pace of life is dictated less by the clock and more by the slow turning of the seasons and the enduring presence of the land.
