Fitzroy emerges from the quiet Somerset earth like a slow, deliberate thought held in the palm of the landscape. It lies 3.0 miles north-west of Taunton (from Taunton: bearing 316°T, OS grid ST 190 279), and is situated north-west of Langford village. The light here catches the damp limestone of old masonry, turning the grey walls into muted prisms as the afternoon sun retreats. To the south-west, the rise of Knowle Hill breaks the horizon, its silhouette a dark, constant companion to the fields that surround Fitzroy. A short distance to the east, the Back Stream pulls at the roots of the willows, its water moving with the insistent, glassy clarity of a hidden pulse. History remains heavy in the soil, marked by the ancient, silent earthworks of the Norton Camp hillfort that watch over the valley from their high vantage point. The wind carries a faint, sharp scent of rain and disturbed clay, reminding those who walk these paths of the permanence of the ground beneath their feet. Every lane and hedgerow suggests a life lived in accordance with the slow, seasonal turn of the Somerset sky.
