Ridgeway, Somerset Weather
About Ridgeway, Somerset
Ridgeway emerges from the Somerset landscape as a modest cluster of stone and slate, holding fast against the prevailing winds that sweep across the Mendips. It lies 2.5 miles south-west of Frome (from Frome: bearing 224°T, OS grid ST 748 451), and is situated east-south-east of Nunney village. The land here rises and falls with a rhythmic persistence, marked by the proximity of Cheese Hill, which catches the first pale, golden light of the morning. Beyond the immediate boundaries, the ruins of Nunney Castle stand as a silent, grey sentinel, casting long shadows over the low-lying fields as the day draws to a close. Ridgeway maintains a quiet connection to this history, where the damp, cool air carries the scent of turned earth and limestone. The surrounding topography remains defined by the persistent flow of water and the slow, deliberate work of the seasons upon the fields. Farmers move across these slopes with a familiarity that suggests a deep, unspoken dialogue with the ground beneath their boots. Every boundary wall and hollow serves as a reminder of the enduring, unadorned character of this corner of the West Country.
