Street on the Fosse draws its name from the ancient Roman road that once served as a vital artery for legions marching through this corner of Somerset. It lies 2.9 miles south of Shepton Mallet (from Shepton Mallet: bearing 179°T, OS grid ST 618 388), and is situated south-west of Prestleigh village. The landscape here unfolds in long, quiet reaches where the light catches the limestone walls, turning them a pale, honeyed gold as the afternoon wanes. To the south-west, the dramatic slope of Pennard Hill commands the horizon, casting a long shadow that anchors the surrounding meadows. A short distance away, the secluded expanse of Foxhole Gully offers a hidden fold in the earth, where the damp air holds the scent of wild garlic and cooling moss. Street on the Fosse maintains a modest presence, defined more by the transit of its history than the clamour of modern development. The nearby flatlands, which host the rhythmic pulse of the Royal Bath and West of England Showground, provide a stark contrast to the stillness found along the old road. Each turn of the lane reveals how the geology of the region dictates the slow, deliberate pace of the local fields.
