Higher Town Somerset Map

About Higher Town

Higher Town offers a quiet contemplation of the Somerset coastline's edge. It lies 0.6 km north of Minehead (from Minehead: bearing 349°T, OS grid SS 967 467). The houses here, often rendered in soft pastel shades, seem to absorb the pale West Country light, their gardens spilling over with the vibrant hues of fuchsias and hydrangeas. A gentle, almost imperceptible incline leads towards the distant shimmer of the Bristol Channel, a constant, blue presence on the horizon. The air carries the faint, salty tang from the sea, mingling with the earthy scent of damp soil after a spring shower. Higher Town feels like a place where the day unfolds at its own unhurried pace, marked by the distant cries of gulls and the murmur of conversation drifting from open windows.
