About Winter's Cross

Winter's Cross, a scatter of dwellings in Herefordshire, West Midlands, breathes a quiet pastoral air. It lies 4.5 km west of Ross-on-Wye (from Ross-on-Wye: bearing 281°T, OS grid SO 555 249), and is situated west-north-west of Peterstow village. The surrounding landscape, a gentle swell of farmland, often catches the late afternoon sun in a way that lends a soft, golden hue to the hedgerows, a quiet beauty that has surely been observed by generations. The lanes that thread through Winter's Cross are narrow, hinting at a time when passage was measured by the pace of horse and cart, and the hedgerows themselves, thick with hawthorn and dog rose, offer a sense of deep, abiding countryside. While no grand edifices mark its presence, the simple stone of the few cottages speaks of a sturdy, enduring vernacular, built to withstand the seasons. The air here, especially after a rain, carries the scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, a fragrance that clings to the memory of the place.
