About West Horrington, Somerset
West Horrington commands a quiet dignity upon the limestone plateaus of the Mendip Hills. It lies 1.9 miles east-north-east of Wells (from Wells: bearing 58°T, OS grid ST 575 473), and is situated north-west of East Horrington village. The character of West Horrington is defined by its exposed position, where the wind carries a sharp, clean clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the dry-stone walls flanking the lanes. To the north-east, the slopes of Horrington Hill rise to meet the sky, offering a panoramic perspective over the ancient, undulating pastures. Nearby, the silent presence of the Two Bowl Barrows 550M South West Of Haydon House reminds the traveller that this landscape has been a place of human contemplation for millennia. The light here has a peculiar quality, often catching the grey stone of the dwellings until they appear to glow with a faint, reflected luminescence against the verdant fields. Below the village, the land dips into the sheltered folds of Nettle Combe, providing a stark, sheltered contrast to the breezy heights above. West Horrington remains a place of singular composure, where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the pace of life more than the clamour of the modern world.
