Launcherley Somerset Map

About Launcherley

Launcherley rests in the gentle Somerset countryside, a quiet collection of dwellings where the air often carries the faint scent of damp earth and distant hedgerows. It lies 2.6 km south of Wells (from Wells: bearing 179°T, OS grid ST 549 430), and is situated east-south-east of Upper Coxley village. The lanes that thread through Launcherley are often bordered by mature oak and ash, their leaves catching the low afternoon sun in a way that imbues the hamlet with a fleeting, golden luminescence. Here, the landscape unfolds with a subtle, unassuming beauty, the fields a patchwork of greens and browns that speak of generations of cultivation. The nearby presence of Wells, with its magnificent cathedral, lends a certain gravitas to the surrounding countryside, a reminder of the deep roots of settlement in this corner of England. Life in Launcherley moves at a pace dictated by the seasons, a quiet continuation of old ways under a wide, often cloud-scudded sky.
