New Town emerges from the damp, expansive lowlands of the Somerset levels as a modest cluster of habitations. It lies 4.8 miles north-north-west of Glastonbury (from Glastonbury: bearing 333°T, OS grid ST 464 459), and is situated south-east of Theale village. The horizon here is dominated by the expansive, reed-fringed horizons of the Westhay Moor SSSI, where the water table dictates the slow, deliberate pace of the local geography. To the east, the rising silhouettes of Hare Acre Hill provide a firm anchor against the vast, shifting skies that characterise this corner of the county. The air in New Town carries a distinct, sharp salinity, a reminder that the land has been reclaimed from the ancient, encroaching marshes of the past. Residents observe the seasonal migration of wildfowl across the wetlands, their cries piercing the silence that settles over the flat, dark fields at dusk. Though New Town remains largely sequestered from the broader thoroughfares, the influence of the earth remains paramount, with the soil yielding stubbornly to those who work it. The transition from the solid ground of the hills to the soft, porous peat of the moor provides a subtle, sensory boundary for anyone traversing the local lanes.
