Chilcompton, Somerset Weather
About Chilcompton, Somerset
Chilcompton occupies a limestone plateau in Somerset where the land tilts toward the Mendip Hills, its character defined by the quiet persistence of rural industry. It lies 2.2 miles south-south-west of Midsomer Norton (from Midsomer Norton: bearing 212°T, OS grid ST 645 512), and is situated west-north-west of Stratton-on-the-Fosse village. The light here often catches the pale, weathered stone of the older cottages, which seem to have grown directly from the earth rather than being placed upon it. To the south-west, the rise of Blacker's Hill commands the horizon, bearing the silent, grass-grown earthworks of an ancient multivallate promontory fort that watches over the passing centuries. Below these heights, the landscape softens into the verdant depths of Crock's Bottom, where moisture gathers in the shadows of the valley floor. Chilcompton retains a sense of seclusion, despite the hum of modern life, with the local parish church of St John the Baptist standing as a sturdy anchor for the changing seasons. The geology of the surrounding terrain reveals itself in the nearby Emborough Quarries, where layers of rock tell a deeper, older story of the shifting Somerset crust. Such geography ensures that the air remains crisp, carrying the scent of damp moss and woodsmoke across the open fields.
