Kilve Somerset Map

About Kilve

Kilve lies on the Somerset coast, a place where the land meets the sea with a quiet dignity. It lies 7.8 km east of Watchet (from Watchet: bearing 91°T, OS grid ST 149 430), and is situated east-south-east of East Quantoxhead village. The air here often carries the bracing scent of salt, a constant reminder of the Bristol Channel's proximity, and the light, particularly in the late afternoon, can cast a soft, golden hue across the ancient stone of its cottages. A notable feature of Kilve is its Jurassic coastline, where ammonite fossils are frequently found scattered amongst the shale, whispering tales of epochs long past. The village itself possesses a gentle, unhurried character, its green a serene expanse where the shade of mature trees offers a cool respite.
