About Preston

Preston, a quiet hamlet in Somerset, breathes the muted greens of Exmoor's fringes. It lies 8.1 km south-south-east of Watchet (from Watchet: bearing 158°T, OS grid ST 099 358), and is situated south of Stogumber village. Here, the land rolls with a gentle, enduring grace, the hedgerows thick with the scent of hawthorn and damp earth after a passing shower. The houses, mostly stone and slate, seem to have grown organically from the soil, their windows catching the diffused light that filters through the West Country's often-clouded skies. A sense of stillness pervades Preston, a quietude that allows the distant bleating of sheep to carry on the breeze, a simple, constant sound that anchors the hamlet to its rural setting. The air itself feels clean, carrying the faintest hint of the sea from the nearby coast, a subtle reminder of the wider world beyond these tranquil fields.
