Moorland Somerset Map

About Moorland

Moorland breathes the wide, open sky of Somerset, a place where the land itself seems to hold a quiet, watchful stillness. It lies 4.8 km east of North Petherton (from North Petherton: bearing 99°T, OS grid ST 336 321), and is situated north-west of Burrowbridge village. The fields here, often stretching towards the distant Quantock Hills, possess a muted, earthy palette, especially under the soft, diffused light that frequently graces this corner of England. Ancient hedgerows, thick with the tangled growth of hawthorn and elder, trace the boundaries of pastures where livestock graze, their presence a gentle punctuation in the landscape. The air, when the wind stirs from the west, carries the faint, clean scent of damp soil and distant salt. Moorland’s modest cluster of homes and agricultural buildings speaks of a life lived in close communion with the seasons.
