Priddy Somerset Map

About Priddy

Priddy, a cluster of stone and thatch, breathes the high air of the Mendip Hills. It lies 5.7 km north-north-west of Wells (from Wells: bearing 336°T, OS grid ST 526 509), and is situated north-east of Westbury-sub-Mendip village. The ancient trackways, worn smooth by centuries of feet and hooves, still trace their paths across the wilder commons that surround Priddy, lands where the wind seems to carry whispers of Roman legions and medieval drovers. The village green, a vast expanse of emerald under an ever-shifting sky, holds the quiet dignity of a place that has seen seasons turn and generations pass. Here, the limestone bedrock shapes the very contours of life, its grey stone a constant, cool presence against the warmth of the sun. The air, clean and keen, carries the scent of gorse and damp earth, a testament to the enduring wildness that still claims this corner of Somerset.
