Skilgate Somerset Map

About Skilgate

Skilgate, a quiet corner of Somerset, often seems to hold its breath in the soft western light. It lies 7.3 km east of Dulverton (from Dulverton: bearing 93°T, OS grid SS 987 273), and is situated south-south-west of Upton village. The hamlet's scattered dwellings, their stone weathered to the colour of old parchment, follow the gentle contours of the land, a landscape that has long been shaped by the patient husbandry of generations. A palpable sense of continuity pervades Skilgate, as if the very air remembers the passage of its inhabitants, both past and present, their lives etched into the quietude. The nearby Exmoor National Park, its wildness a constant, subtle presence, lends a certain raw beauty to the surrounding fields and hedgerows.
