Little Pennard, Somerset Weather
About Little Pennard, Somerset
Fields of heavy clay and ancient pasture define the slow, deliberate character of Little Pennard. It lies 3.7 miles south of Shepton Mallet (from Shepton Mallet: bearing 191°T, OS grid ST 607 376), and is situated north-north-east of Wraxall village. The horizon here is dominated by the broad, brooding shoulder of Pennard Hill, which casts long, cooling shadows over the low-lying lanes as the sun begins its westward descent. To the east, the hidden, secretive contours of Foxhole Gully carve a sharp divide into the limestone bedrock, offering a sanctuary for the wind that rushes across the Somerset levels. These slopes are silent witnesses to a landscape that prioritises the cycle of grass and cattle over the clamour of modern industry. Every fence line and hedgerow suggests a tenacity born of centuries spent working this stubborn, water-logged earth. When the light catches the limestone, Little Pennard appears as a pale, flickering spark against the deepening greens of the valley floor. It remains a place of profound stillness, where the quietude is broken only by the distant, rhythmic lowing of livestock or the sharp call of a bird navigating the open air.
