Priddy commands a high, windswept plateau atop the Mendip Hills, where the thin soil clings stubbornly to the limestone bedrock. It lies 3.6 miles north-north-west of Wells (from Wells: bearing 336°T, OS grid ST 526 509), and is situated north-east of Westbury-sub-Mendip village. Ancient barrows rise like low, grass-grown waves from the surrounding fields, marking the horizon where Priddy has watched the centuries pass in relative solitude. The light here possesses a particular clarity, sharp and unsparing, which illuminates the hollows and swallets that carve deep into the earth as part of the Priddy Caves SSSI. On the open expanse of Priddy Green, the wind often carries the scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, a reminder of the lead-mining legacy that once scarred and enriched this rugged terrain. St. Lawrence’s Church stands as a quiet sentinel over the landscape, its stone walls weathering the relentless gales that sweep across the limestone pavement. Each year, the folk festival breathes a temporary, vibrant life into the quietude, filling the air with music that echoes against the low stone walls. Priddy retains a raw, elemental character, defined more by the open sky and the hidden subterranean rivers than by the domestic comforts of the lowlands.
