Hedging reveals itself as a quiet collection of stone and earth, where the low-slung horizon of Somerset meets the open sky. It lies 2.3 miles south-south-east of North Petherton (from North Petherton: bearing 162°T, OS grid ST 299 293), and is situated south of North Newton village. The land around Hedging rolls with a subtle, rhythmic insistence, shaped by the slow passage of water and the long memory of the soil. To the north-northeast, the Bankland Stream cuts a bright, silver furrow through the fields, catching the morning light before it drifts toward the wider levels. A short distance to the east, the model of the Sun—part of the Somerset Space Walk—stands as a curious, metallic sentinel watching over the quiet lanes. Hedging maintains a deliberate pace, far from the clamour of modern thoroughfares, where the shadows lengthen gracefully across the pasture as the sun dips. Here, the air carries the scent of damp grass and the faint, earthy sweetness of the nearby Curry and Hay Moors. Life in Hedging remains tethered to the seasons, observed in the changing hue of the hedgerows and the steady, unpretentious endurance of the countryside.
