Bladon, Somerset Weather
About Bladon, Somerset
Bladon rises from the Somerset levels as a quiet cluster of stone dwellings, its character defined by the low, damp reach of the nearby West Moor SSSI. It lies 2.4 miles north of South Petherton (from South Petherton: bearing 356°T, OS grid ST 429 207), and is situated north-east of Stembridge village. The horizon here is dominated by the gentle swell of Burrow Hill, which catches the morning light and casts long, cooling shadows across the surrounding pastures. Bladon remains a place of slow shifts, where the damp breath of the Westmoor Main Drain dictates the seasonal temperament of the fields. The soil clings to the boots with a heavy, honest persistence, reminding one that the land is still governed by the ancient hydrology of the region. Local architecture reflects a utilitarian elegance, built from local stone that seems to absorb the grey-blue hues of the sky during the winter months. A singular stillness pervades the lanes, interrupted only by the rhythmic rustle of wind through the hedgerows that border the narrow, winding paths. Those who walk these tracks find a landscape that demands attention to detail, rewarding the observant eye with the subtle shifting of colours as the sun arcs over the Somerset plain.
