Oakhill Somerset Map

About Oakhill

Oakhill breathes the quietude of Mendip's ancient limestone heart. It lies 4.1 km north-north-east of Shepton Mallet (from Shepton Mallet: bearing 24°T, OS grid ST 635 472), and is situated south-south-east of Gurney Slade village. The surrounding landscape, a canvas of rolling fields and shadowed copses, often catches the afternoon sun in a way that renders the distant hills almost luminous. Oakhill itself, a cluster of sturdy stone dwellings, seems to absorb the very essence of the earth from which it sprung, its buildings weathered by centuries of Somerset's capricious skies. A subtle, almost earthy scent, a mingling of damp soil and hedgerow blooms, often hangs in the air, particularly after a soft rain. The village possesses a gentle, unassuming character, a place where the passage of time is marked less by grand pronouncements and more by the slow, steady turning of the seasons.
