About Luxborough

Luxborough breathes a quiet air of the Quantock Hills, a land of ancient woodland and rolling pastures that cradle its scattered dwellings. It lies 9.0 km south-south-east of Minehead (from Minehead: bearing 168°T, OS grid SS 984 373), and is situated south-west of Withycombe village. The landscape here falls away in generous sweeps, the light often catching the bracken on the hillsides in a warm, fleeting glow, and the ancient stones of its church, St. Mary the Virgin, seem to absorb the very essence of the surrounding countryside. Historically, Luxborough's fortunes were tied to the land, its economy once sustained by agriculture and small-scale quarrying, remnants of which can still be discerned in the subtle contours of the fields. The quiet murmur of the River Avill, though small, has shaped the terrain, its banks a verdant haven for the local flora and fauna. Even now, a sense of enduring peace pervades Luxborough, a feeling that the centuries have smoothed its edges rather than eroded its character.
