Penselwood Somerset Map

About Penselwood

Penselwood, a village in Somerset, exhales a quietude that settles deep into the bones. It lies 5.3 km west-south-west of Mere (from Mere: bearing 257°T, OS grid ST 760 312), and is situated west-north-west of Bourton village. The land hereabouts rolls with a gentle insistence, the greens of the fields often carrying a muted, almost bruised quality under the broad Somerset sky. Ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and elder, trace the boundaries of fields that have known generations of plough and harvest, a living map of human endeavour against the enduring earth. The buildings of Penselwood, many of them rendered in the local creamy stone, seem to grow organically from the landscape, their roofs a patchwork of slate and tile catching the diffused sunlight.
