About Burrough on the Hill

Burrough on the Hill commands a high, limestone prominence that catches the first grey light of morning across the Leicestershire wolds. It lies 5.3 miles south of Melton Mowbray (from Melton Mowbray: bearing 176°T, OS grid SK 758 108), and is situated west of Somerby village. The horizon here is dominated by the sprawling earthworks of the Burrough Iron Age Hill Fort, a ten-hectare plateau that has watched over the surrounding pastures since the pre-Roman centuries. Below these ancient ramparts, the landscape drops away into a patchwork of heavy clay fields and hawthorn hedges that hold the dampness of the season. A short distance away, the quiet paths of Burrough Hill Country Park offer a vantage point where the wind carries the scent of turned soil and distant woodsmoke. The stone houses of Burrough on the Hill are built from local ironstone, which glows with a deep, rusted warmth when the afternoon sun hits the gables. Beneath the surface, the ground remains a repository of layered history, where the modern pace of life rarely disturbs the silence of the high ridge. This topography defines the character of the place, keeping it distinct from the low-lying valleys that stretch out toward the horizon.
