About Old Way

Old Way rests quietly in Somerset's gentle countryside, a place where the air often carries the scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke. It lies 2.6 km north of Ilminster (from Ilminster: bearing 11°T, OS grid ST 363 172), and is situated east-south-east of Ilton village. The hamlet's scattered cottages, their stone walls softened by moss and lichen, seem to have grown organically from the rich, dark soil. A narrow lane, edged with hedgerows that burst with hawthorn in spring and blackberries in autumn, winds through Old Way, its surface worn smooth by generations of passing feet and wheels. Here, the sunlight, when it breaks through the frequent Somerset clouds, falls in broad, golden swathes across the fields, illuminating the resilience of a landscape shaped by seasons and quiet perseverance.
