Shawford Somerset Map

About Shawford

Shawford, a quiet corner of Somerset, breathes the muted light of the South West. It lies 5.5 km north-north-east of Frome (from Frome: bearing 20°T, OS grid ST 795 531), and is situated south-south-east of Woolverton village. Here, the land gently rolls, a landscape that has long favoured quiet cultivation and the slow turning of seasons. The houses of Shawford, built from the local stone, seem to absorb the very essence of the countryside, their walls often softened by the mosses and lichens that thrive in this damp, verdant climate. A palpable sense of continuity pervades the hamlet, as if the echoes of past generations still resonate in the rustle of the leaves and the distant bleating of sheep. The air here carries a certain stillness, broken only by the murmur of the nearby streams and the occasional call of a bird, a subtle symphony that underscores the enduring peace of this pastoral setting.
