Kingstone emerges from the rolling Somerset folds as a quiet collection of stone dwellings and ancient lanes that catch the early morning light. It lies 1.3 miles east-south-east of Ilminster (from Ilminster: bearing 123°T, OS grid ST 376 135), and is situated north of Dowlish Wake village. The landscape here is defined by the modest, purposeful rise of Pretwood Hill to the west, which shelters the local pastures from the more restless weather of the Atlantic. A short stroll southward brings one to the historic grounds of Perry’s Cider Mill, where the scent of fermented apples lingers in the air like a memory of autumn harvests. Kingstone maintains a stillness that feels untouched by the frantic pace of the modern world, as if the very air respects the gravity of its older boundaries. The earth here is heavy and fertile, supporting a rhythm of life that aligns itself with the turning of the seasons rather than the ticking of a clock. To walk the paths between these fields is to experience the raw, unadorned beauty of the South West, where the horizon remains wide and the sky feels close enough to touch.
