It lies 1.2 km north-east of Yeovil (from Yeovil: bearing 54°T, OS grid ST 565 165). The landscape surrounding New Town unfolds with the subtle contours of Somerset, where fields of ripening wheat catch the afternoon sun, casting a golden hue that seems to linger in the air. Though not an ancient settlement, its newer homes are interspersed with pockets of mature trees, their leaves rustling with a sound that carries the faintest whisper of the countryside. The local shops, lining what might be considered the heart of New Town, offer a practical selection, their windows reflecting the steady flow of everyday life. There is a sense of ordered growth here, a considered development that has respected the generous sky above.
