Odd Down commands a high, limestone-ridged plateau that catches the first pale light of the morning as it drifts across the Somerset hills. It lies 1.9 miles south-south-west of Bath (from Bath: bearing 208°T, OS grid ST 736 622), and is situated west-north-west of South Stoke village. Ancient earthworks ripple through the neighbouring fields, where the Wansdyke remains as a silent, grassy furrow marking the deep-time boundaries of the land. The crisp air here tastes of the high country, far above the damp, river-misted hollows that cradle the city of Bath below. Residents of Odd Down look out toward the horizon where the land dips into the quiet, wooded seclusion of Padley Bottom, a place where the shadows stretch long and cool under the canopy. This suburban plateau retains a sense of enduring solidity, defined by the weathered stone walls that trace the old drovers’ paths. The rhythm of the place is marked by the steady climb of the roads, rising firmly from the valley floor to meet the open, windswept sky. Every winter, the frost clings longer to the exposed heights of Odd Down, glazing the hedgerows in a temporary, brittle silver.
