About Hastings

Hastings, a tranquil hamlet, whispers its quiet existence in the gentle Somerset countryside. It lies 4.8 km west-north-west of Ilminster (from Ilminster: bearing 289°T, OS grid ST 313 163), and is situated south of Windmill Hill village. The lanes that lead to Hastings are often fringed with hedgerows, their verdant embrace softening the sharp angles of the surrounding fields, where the light, on clear afternoons, falls with a particular, almost liquid quality. Though small, Hastings carries a deep sense of place, a quiet testament to the generations who have walked its paths, their lives unfolding against the enduring backdrop of the rolling Somerset Levels. The air here often carries the faint, earthy scent of damp soil and distant livestock, a grounding aroma that speaks of an agricultural heart that has pulsed for centuries.
