About West Town

West Town emerges from the low-lying Somerset levels as a quiet cluster of stone and slate. It lies 3.3 miles south-east of Glastonbury (from Glastonbury: bearing 135°T, OS grid ST 535 351), and is situated west-north-west of Baltonsborough village. The landscape here is defined by the slow, deliberate movement of water, where the Butt Moor Middle Rhyne channels drainage through the fields with a steady, liquid persistence. To the east, the silhouette of Windmill Hill rises against the horizon, catching the pale, slanted light of late afternoon. West Town remains a place of agricultural patience, where the soil holds the damp memory of winter long after the sun has warmed the lanes. The air possesses a crystalline quality that renders the distant hedgerows sharp and distinct against the sky. Travellers passing through West Town often notice the quiet dignity of the old farmsteads, which seem to have grown directly from the heavy, clay-rich earth. This corner of the county retains a solitary grace, far removed from the clamour of busier thoroughfares.
