A view of thatched cottages, seen from the top of Selworthy and looking down at the rest of the village.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Selworthy, a charming village nestled in the picturesque West Somerset countryside. The image showcases a stunning view of traditional thatched cottages, their roofs blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. From the vantage point atop Selworthy, one can gaze down into the valley below, where more quaint buildings dot the village. In this particular shot, our attention is drawn to a prominent building in the foreground. It could be either the Periwinkle Tea Room or the Lorna Doone and National Trust Shop and Information Centre – both historically significant structures within Selworthy. These establishments were once listed as separate entities but have since merged into one. The photograph exudes an air of nostalgia, transporting us back to an era reminiscent of 1940s England. E M Booty's expert composition allows us to appreciate not only the architectural charm but also how harmoniously these dwellings coexist with nature. This print from Historic England serves as a visual testament to Selworthy's enduring allure and its status as a cherished heritage site. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us reflect on how it encapsulates both history and natural beauty for generations to come.
