Hinton St George is tucked away in the deep south of Somerset, about three miles from Crewkerne, and remains one of the county’s most visually consistent villages because so much of it is built from the local golden Hamstone. Historically, the village was shaped by centuries of ownership by the Poulett family, whose former estate, Hinton House, still borders the village. Today, life tends to centre around the high street, which is unusually wide and lined with Hamstone cottages, many of which are Grade II listed. For practicalities, the village is well-served by a community-run shop and its long-standing pub, The Lord Poulett Arms, while the 13th-century Church of St George stands as a landmark at the village’s heart. Geographically, it sits on a gentle ridge, offering views across the undulating landscape towards the Dorset border. It’s a quiet spot where the pace is governed more by the seasons than the clock, yet it stays connected via the nearby A303 and the mainline rail link at Crewkerne, which provides a direct route to London Waterloo.
