Melbourne East Riding of Yorkshire Map

About Melbourne

Melbourne, a quiet cluster of homes, breathes the slow, steady air of the East Riding of Yorkshire. It lies 7.2 km south-west of Pocklington (from Pocklington: bearing 228°T, OS grid SE 750 440), and is situated south-west of Thornton village. The sky above Melbourne often carries a pale, luminous quality, softening the edges of the fields that cradle it, fields that have seen the turning of countless seasons. The land here, a rich loam, slopes gently, encouraging the growth of crops that have sustained generations, a quiet testament to the enduring partnership between soil and hand. A sense of peaceful continuity pervades Melbourne, a feeling that the present is merely a continuation of the past, unhurried and sure. The very air seems to hold the scent of damp earth and distant hedgerows, a subtle perfume of the English countryside.
