Shapwick Somerset Map

About Shapwick

Shapwick breathes the quiet stillness of the Somerset Levels, a landscape where water and earth meet in a gentle, ancient embrace. It lies 6.7 km west-north-west of Street (from Street: bearing 282°T, OS grid ST 418 381), and is situated north-north-west of Pedwell village. The village itself, a cluster of stone cottages and farmsteads, seems to have grown organically from the surrounding fields, their roofs often the colour of sun-bleached straw. A particular beauty here is the way the light, softened by the vast, open skies of the Levels, falls upon the ancient church spire, casting long, ethereal shadows across the village green in the late afternoon. Historically, Shapwick has been intrinsically linked to the rich agricultural bounty of this fertile land, its fortunes tied to the cultivation of crops and the raising of livestock.
