About Henton

Henton gathers the soft, low-lying light of the Somerset Levels against the backdrop of the Mendip Hills. It lies 3.4 miles west of Wells (from Wells: bearing 266°T, OS grid ST 493 453), and is situated west of Wookey village. The horizon here is defined by the gentle slope of Yarley Hill, which rises to the southeast as a silent sentinel over the fields. Waters move with a deliberate, sluggish grace through the nearby Upper Old Enclosure Rhyne, carving thin, silver veins into the heavy, verdant earth. Henton remains defined by this open, aqueous landscape where the damp air carries the scent of peat and turned soil. Residents look toward the distant, jagged silhouette of the Mendips, a presence that commands the weather and dictates the shifting moods of the sky. Time in Henton moves with the slow rotation of the seasons, unencumbered by the frantic pace of the modern world.
