Southay Somerset Map

About Southay

Southay rests in a gentle hollow, where the Somerset landscape unfolds with quiet grace. It lies 2.5 km north of South Petherton (from South Petherton: bearing 359°T, OS grid ST 431 194), and is situated north of East Lambrook village. The hamlet's scattered dwellings, some of them ancient stone cottages with roofs the colour of old slate, seem to converse with the surrounding fields, where hedgerows, thick with hawthorn blossom in spring, form delicate green veins across the land. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-soft skies of the South West, casts a diffused, golden light upon the scene, lending an almost ethereal quality to the dew-kissed grass of the small green. The air here carries the faint, clean scent of damp earth and distant livestock, a constant reminder of the pastoral life that has long shaped this corner of England.
