Westhay breathes the quietude of Somerset's levels, a place where the land itself seems to hold its breath. It lies 7.3 km west-north-west of Glastonbury (from Glastonbury: bearing 296°T, OS grid ST 433 422), and is situated west-north-west of Oxenpill village. The low-lying terrain, a patchwork of fields and drainage ditches, often catches the morning mist, softening the edges of the world and lending a peculiar, ethereal glow to the ordinary. Here, the ancient peatlands, once harvested for fuel, now form a unique habitat, a testament to the subtle alchemy of nature and human endeavour. The very air, carrying the scent of damp earth and distant hedgerows, feels ancient, a whisper from centuries past.
