Wheddon Cross breathes the wide Exmoor air, a small gathering of homes and businesses at a junction of lanes. It lies 8.5 km south-south-west of Minehead (from Minehead: bearing 209°T, OS grid SS 925 388), and is situated west-south-west of Cutcombe village. The light here, particularly in the late afternoon, has a tendency to pool in the hollows, lending a certain softness to the encompassing moorland hills. Sheep are a common sight, their woolly forms dotting the green pastures that roll away from the village's modest cluster. One can almost hear the distant bleating carried on the breeze, a gentle counterpoint to the murmur of traffic passing through. Wheddon Cross serves as a point of reference for travellers venturing into the heart of the Brendon Hills, its unassuming presence a marker on the map of this wilder corner of Somerset. The very texture of the ground beneath one's feet speaks of ancient pathways and the slow, steady work of the seasons.
