New Town breathes the quietude of Somerset fields, a place where the sky seems to stretch a little wider. It lies 7.8 km north-north-west of Glastonbury (from Glastonbury: bearing 333°T, OS grid ST 464 459), and is situated south-east of Theale village. The very air in New Town carries the faint scent of damp earth and distant hedgerows, a subtle perfume that clings to the stone cottages and the modest village green. Here, life unfolds with a gentle cadence, marked by the changing seasons rather than the clamour of commerce, and the sunlight often falls with a soft, almost apologetic glow, illuminating the weathered brickwork and the quiet dignity of ancient trees.
