Upper Vobster, Somerset Weather
About Upper Vobster, Somerset
Upper Vobster commands a quiet authority over the Somerset limestone plateau, where the horizon is defined by the sharp, sudden shoulders of the Mendip Hills. It lies 3.6 miles south-south-east of Radstock (from Radstock: bearing 160°T, OS grid ST 707 494), and is situated west-north-west of Mells village. The landscape here retains the flinty, industrious memory of coal extraction, visible in the overgrown scars that mark the earth near the Vobster Breach Colliery. Beneath the heavy, slate-grey skies, the terrain rises toward the modest summit of Sharp Hill, which casts a long, thoughtful shadow over the surrounding pastures in the late afternoon. The air holds a crisp, metallic edge, blowing in from the open fields that eventually dip into the hidden, verdant creases of Snatch Bottom. Stone walls, built with the stubborn patience of local masons, fracture the fields into a geometric mosaic that seems to hold the warmth of the sun long after it has retreated. Upper Vobster remains a place of deep, silent strata, where the modern silence is punctuated only by the distant, rhythmic lowing of cattle and the shifting of wind through the hawthorn hedges. Every lane here feels like a narrow thread binding the remnants of an industrial past to a present defined by the slow, unyielding growth of lichen on ancient stone.
