About West Leigh
West Leigh breathes the quiet, undulating spirit of the Somerset countryside. It lies 4.7 km north-east of Wiveliscombe (from Wiveliscombe: bearing 54°T, OS grid ST 119 305), and is situated south-south-west of Lydeard St Lawrence village. This small collection of dwellings, more a scattering than a cohesive whole, enjoys a gentle southward slope, allowing the light to linger a little longer on the western faces of its stone-built cottages. The air here carries the faint, earthy scent of damp soil and distant livestock, a perpetual reminder of the agricultural heart that beats softly around West Leigh. A narrow lane, barely wide enough for two cars to pass, winds its way through the hamlet, its verges often softened by a profusion of wild grasses and tenacious wildflowers, hinting at a landscape that has resisted any overzealous tidying. The distant bleating of sheep, carried on a breeze that rustles through the surrounding hedgerows, provides a constant, unobtrusive soundtrack to this rural corner.
