Yarford Somerset Map

About Yarford

Yarford rests where the gentle Somerset countryside begins its quiet unfolding. It lies 5.7 km north-north-west of Taunton (from Taunton: bearing 337°T, OS grid ST 202 297), and is situated west of Kingston St Mary village. Here, the air often carries the faint, earthy scent of well-tended fields, a scent that has likely clung to this land for centuries. The lanes that thread through Yarford are often canopied by ancient trees, their leaves a shifting mosaic of emerald and gold under the dappled English light. Though small, Yarford holds a certain stillness, a peacefulness that seems to absorb the passing years. The nearby Quantock Hills, their slopes a rich tapestry of heath and woodland, provide a dramatic backdrop to this tranquil hamlet, their presence a constant reminder of the wilder beauty of Somerset.
