About Southrope

Southrope exists as a quiet presence in Hampshire's Basingstoke and Deane district. It lies 7.2 km north-west of Alton (from Alton: bearing 321°T, OS grid SU 671 448), and is situated north of Lasham village. The land around Southrope, a gentle sweep of fields, often catches the afternoon sun in a way that seems to hold the warmth of the day long after the light has begun to fade, a soft glow that might have encouraged travellers of old to pause their journeys. Though no grand monuments mark its past, the very shape of the earth here, the subtle rise and fall of the terrain, hints at centuries of cultivation, of lives lived out in steady accord with the seasons. The air, especially after a spring shower, carries a clean scent, a mingling of damp earth and the distant, sweet perfume of hedgerow blossoms, a simple, honest fragrance.
