Litton, Somerset Weather
About Litton, Somerset
Litton holds the quiet gravity of limestone and water, defined by the slow persistence of the River Chew. It lies 4.2 miles west of Midsomer Norton (from Midsomer Norton: bearing 272°T, OS grid ST 595 544), and is situated north-north-west of Chewton Mendip village. The landscape here gathers itself into a series of soft, rolling heights, where the Upper Reservoir mirrors a sky that often feels wider than the earth below. To the south-west, the rise of Hook's Hill acts as a silent sentry, casting long, lean shadows across the fields as the afternoon light begins to fail. Ancient earthworks remain in the surrounding fields, where the barrows near Barrow House Farm mark a human presence that has endured long before the current stone walls were laid. Litton preserves a character formed by agriculture and the steady, cold flow of its spring-fed waters. A sense of containment persists in the valley, where the air feels heavy with the scent of damp moss and cut grass. Even in the height of summer, the shade cast by the surrounding hills gives Litton a cool, reserved composure that defies the noise of the modern world.
