New Town, a quiet hamlet in Somerset, rests in the gentle embrace of the South West's rolling countryside. It lies 7.4 km west-north-west of Ilminster (from Ilminster: bearing 291°T, OS grid ST 289 174), and is situated west-north-west of Windmill Hill village. The lanes here, often shadowed by ancient hedgerows, possess a certain hushed quality, as if the very air remembers the footsteps of generations past. Sunlight, when it breaks through, seems to fall in liquid gold upon the moss-kissed stone of the few dwellings that comprise New Town. A small stream, barely more than a murmur, threads its way through the periphery, reflecting the wide, often cloud-scudded skies that lend a dramatic beauty to this corner of England.
