About Hornblotton Green

Hornblotton Green holds its own quiet place. It lies 5.3 km west-north-west of Castle Cary (from Castle Cary: bearing 281°T, OS grid ST 589 334), and is situated north-west of Alford village. The hamlet's name hints at a historical association with hornblende, a mineral often found in the underlying geology, lending the fields a particular shade of green under the wide Somerset sky. The land around Hornblotton Green is gently rolling, a soft landscape shaped by centuries of farming, where the sunlight catches the dew on the hedgerows in the early morning. There is a sense of enduring peace here, a quietude broken only by the murmur of the wind through the trees and the distant lowing of cattle. The buildings, primarily cottages of local stone, stand solid and unpretentious, weathering the seasons with a stoic grace.
