Ruggin, Somerset Weather
About Ruggin, Somerset
Ruggin emerges as a quiet cluster of dwellings where the Somerset landscape softens into a series of sheltered, verdant folds. It lies 2.9 miles east-south-east of Wellington (from Wellington: bearing 114°T, OS grid ST 181 186), and is situated south-south-east of West Buckland village. The horizon here is defined by the high, rolling expanse of Buckland Hill, which casts long, contemplative shadows over the pastures during the late afternoon. Ruggin occupies a portion of the Quants Sssi, a designation that ensures the preservation of the rare butterflies and ancient meadow flora flourishing in the damp, undisturbed earth. Beyond the immediate gardens, the terrain rises toward the dense, tangled canopy of Buckland Wood, where the air retains a heavy, sweet scent of damp bark and moss even in the height of summer. Sunlight filters through the overhead leaves with a flickering intensity, illuminating the precise, delicate architecture of the ferns that cling to the roadside banks. The local lanes are narrow and hemmed in by high, unkempt hedges that seem to breathe with the movement of small, hidden creatures. Life in Ruggin follows the slow, seasonal turn of the agricultural year, indifferent to the hurried pace of the world beyond the ridge.
