About Horner

Horner, a quiet scattering of dwellings, breathes the ancient air of Exmoor’s western reaches. It lies 7.1 km west of Minehead (from Minehead: bearing 264°T, OS grid SS 897 455), and is situated south-south-west of Allerford village. The shallow, pebbled Horner Water, a ribbon of cool clarity, threads its way through the hamlet, its murmur a constant companion to the surrounding woodlands, where the light falls in shifting patterns upon mossy banks. These woods, thick with oak and beech, have long been a source of timber and sustenance, their history entwined with the very lives of Horner's inhabitants. The fields here, often small and irregularly shaped, bear the patient cultivation of generations, yielding hay and pasture under the vast, ever-changing Somerset sky. There is a distinct sense of enduring peace in Horner, a feeling that the world outside has little sway over its tranquil existence.
