My Beautiful Somerset

My Beautiful Somerset is a tribute to my Ancestors from the county and their descendants who live there to this day.





My Beautiful Somerset


Gorges, coves and raging sea
A county of diversity 
With valleys, tor's and golden sands
Marshes, moors and much woodland

Ancient yews grow next to graves
And witches lay in deep dark caves
Great bridges over chasms span
And other marvels made by man

The levels fill with nesting swans
Local inns ring with folk songs
From rolling hills to flattened downs
That house our villages and towns

Perry, cider, mead and beer
Are brewed, matured and bottled here
Orchards rich in fruit and flower 
In landscape rife with leys of power
