Southwood Somerset Map

About Southwood

Southwood rests upon a gentle swell of Somerset land, a quiet presence in the English countryside. It lies 8.1 km south-east of Glastonbury (from Glastonbury: bearing 132°T, OS grid ST 558 333), and is situated south of Ham Street village. The fields surrounding Southwood often hold a peculiar, almost luminous quality under the soft, diffused light of the South West, as if the very air has been spun from ancient mist. Its modest dwellings, many built of local stone that seems to absorb the hues of sunset, speak of a continuity unbroken by the haste of modern times. A palpable sense of enduring quietude pervades the lanes, a peace that might have soothed weary travellers in centuries past. Though not a place of grand monuments, Southwood possesses a subtle charm, a certain grace in its unassuming landscape.
