About Pickwell

Pickwell, a quiet hamlet in Leicestershire's Melton district, whispers of a life lived gently under wide East Midlands skies. It lies 7.9 km west-north-west of Oakham (from Oakham: bearing 290°T, OS grid SK 784 113), and is situated north-east of Somerby village. The land here rolls with a subtle grace, the fields often catching the low sun in a way that turns them to burnished gold, a sight that might have pleased a thoughtful eye centuries ago. The lanes that thread through Pickwell are bordered by hedgerows that seem to have been cultivated with an artist's care, offering glimpses of ancient oaks that stand like silent sentinels. Though small, Pickwell possesses a palpable sense of peace, a quality that settles upon the soul like the fine dust of a country road on a summer's day. There is a quiet dignity to the few dwellings, their stone walls weathered by the passage of countless seasons, each one a testament to enduring simplicity.
