Barkby Thorpe Leicestershire Map

About Barkby Thorpe

Barkby Thorpe, a quiet corner of Leicestershire, whispers of its agricultural past. It lies 2.6 km south-south-east of Syston (from Syston: bearing 164°T, OS grid SK 634 091), and is situated south-south-west of Barkby village. Fields, often stretching towards a sky that can hold the bruised purples of impending rain or the pale gold of late afternoon, mark the boundaries of this hamlet. The air here carries the scent of turned earth and, in summer, the sweet perfume of hay. Ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and dog rose, act as silent witnesses to centuries of cultivation, their tangled branches a haven for unseen birds whose calls punctuate the stillness. Even the infrequent passing car seems to tread lightly on the lanes that curve through Barkby Thorpe, as if mindful of the deep quiet.
