Roadwater, Somerset Weather
About Roadwater, Somerset
Roadwater traces the contours of the Washford River as it carves a path through the verdant folds of the Brendon Hills. It lies 3.5 miles south-west of Watchet (from Watchet: bearing 217°T, OS grid ST 036 389), and is situated south of Bilbrook village. The landscape here breathes with the expansive, untamed spirit of Exmoor National Park, which embraces the surroundings in a wide, heather-dusted arc. Near the water’s edge, the air carries a crisp, persistent chill, as if the Traphole Stream brings news of the high moors directly to the doorsteps of Roadwater. Centuries of quiet industry have left their mark, from the weathered stone of ancient chapels to the lingering stillness of the nearby valley floors. A soft, slate-grey light often settles over the roofs, lending a dignified weight to the architecture that speaks of long, industrious winters. To the north-east, the expansive ruins of Cleeve Abbey offer a silent, red-sandstone counterpoint to the bustling, rhythmic life of the local orchards. Here, the hum of the modern world is frequently muted by the persistent, steady rush of water moving toward the sea.
