Walpole breathes a quiet dignity on the Somerset Levels. It lies 4.7 km north-north-east of Bridgwater (from Bridgwater: bearing 12°T, OS grid ST 306 416), and is situated north-west of Down End village. The land here, often touched by the mists that drift from the nearby Poldens, has a certain, almost melancholic beauty, a gentle flatness that invites contemplation. Though small, Walpole holds the memory of a time when the turning of the earth, the planting and the harvest, dictated the pace of life, a rhythm still faintly perceptible in the quiet lanes. The hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and elder, might whisper tales of generations who knew this soil intimately. The air, especially after a spring shower, carries the clean scent of damp earth and distant fields.
