Periton Somerset Map

About Periton

Periton unfolds with a quiet grace, a scatter of homes and lanes that hold their own counsel. It lies 1.1 km west-south-west of Minehead (from Minehead: bearing 244°T, OS grid SS 958 457). The air here, carrying the faint, salt-tinged breath of the nearby Bristol Channel, lends a subtle clarity to the light that falls upon its fields, a light often softened by the looming presence of Exmoor National Park to the south. A sense of enduring quietude pervades Periton, a feeling reinforced by the ancient stones of St. Michael’s Church, its spire a familiar landmark against the often-dramatic West Somerset skies. The land itself, a gentle incline towards the coast, whispers of agricultural pasts, of fields worked and harvests brought in under the same wide heavens. Here, life moves with a steady, unobtrusive beat, a counterpoint to the more boisterous energy of its larger neighbour, Minehead.
