About Wood
Wood, a quiet corner of Somerset, offers a tranquil respite from the more clamorous parts of the county. It lies 5.3 km west-north-west of Ilminster (from Ilminster: bearing 298°T, OS grid ST 312 173), and is situated north of Windmill Hill village. The landscape around Wood unfolds with a gentle, almost pastoral grace, where fields, often divided by hedgerows robust with hawthorn and dog rose, suggest a long cultivation. The quality of light here, particularly in the late afternoon, seems to possess a peculiar softness, bathing the scattered farmsteads and cottages in a warm, golden hue that hints at the enduring character of the place. Though not a centre of grand industry, the surrounding soil has long supported the agricultural life of the region, a quiet testament to generations of husbandry.
