About Townsend
Townsend traces its quiet origins in the gentle Somerset countryside, a place where the land itself seems to hold a patient memory. It lies 3.3 km north of Crewkerne (from Crewkerne: bearing 8°T, OS grid ST 446 130), and is situated north-north-east of Merriott village. Here, the air often carries the soft scent of ripening apples from nearby orchards, a fragrance that mingles with the earthy aroma of fields after a spring shower. The subtle curve of the land, leading the eye towards distant, softly rounded hills, offers a sense of enduring peace. The houses of Townsend, built from the local stone that catches the afternoon sun with a warm, honeyed glow, present a modest, unpretentious beauty. A small, well-tended green at its heart offers a gathering place, a patch of emerald resilience against the changing seasons.
