Wykin, a quiet settlement within the Hinckley and Bosworth district of Leicestershire, breathes a gentle air of the East Midlands. It lies 2.4 km north-west of Hinckley (from Hinckley: bearing 309°T, OS grid SP 406 953), and is situated south-south-east of Stoke Golding village. The landscape around Wykin unfolds with a subtle, rolling character, the fields often holding a rich, dark soil that hints at generations of cultivation. Though not a place of grand pronouncements, the very way the hedgerows trace their patient lines across the land suggests a long, quiet habitation. The light here can be particularly fine, softening the edges of farmsteads and catching the dew on the early morning grass.
