Somerton Suffolk Map

About Somerton

Somerton, a quiet corner of Suffolk, whispers its presence amidst the rolling fields. It lies 8.7 km north-north-east of Clare (from Clare: bearing 30°T, OS grid TL 811 530), and is situated east of Hawkedon village. The land here, under a sky that often stretches in hues of bruised lavender and pale gold, has long been given over to the patient cultivation of the earth, a rhythm felt in the very soil beneath one's feet. Ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and the promise of summer berries, trace the boundaries of fields where the wind moves like a sigh through the ripening barley. A particular quality of light often settles upon Somerton in the late afternoon, a gentle luminescence that seems to imbue the stone walls and weathered timbers of its few dwellings with a soft, enduring warmth.
