Shurton Somerset Map

About Shurton

Shurton, a quiet hamlet in Somerset, rests on the Somerset Levels, a landscape of ancient drainage and subtle horizons. It lies 11.8 km west-south-west of Burnham-on-Sea (from Burnham-on-Sea: bearing 243°T, OS grid ST 200 440), and is situated north-north-west of Stogursey village. The air here often carries a faint, earthy perfume, a consequence of the surrounding fertile fields and the proximity to the Bristol Channel, a constant presence in the collective consciousness of this region. In the soft, diffused light that frequently washes over this part of England, the low-lying land of Shurton takes on a gentle, almost watercolour quality, where hedgerows define the patchwork quilt of agriculture. The modest church, a stoic sentinel of stone, has witnessed the slow procession of seasons and lives for centuries, its weathered walls bearing the quiet dignity of enduring time. The lanes around Shurton, often lined with ancient hedgerows, offer a sense of peaceful seclusion, a gentle departure from the more bustling centres of the county.
