Windy Arbour rests in the rolling landscape of Lancashire, a place where the wind often has its say. It lies 2.5 km north-east of Billinge (from Billinge: bearing 42°T, OS grid SD 546 017), and is situated north-north-west of Simm's Lane End village. Though small, Windy Arbour possesses a quiet character, its modest dwellings clustered against the open sky, hinting at a past tied to the earth and its changing seasons. The air here can carry the scent of damp soil after a rain, a subtle perfume that speaks of the surrounding fields. In the late afternoon, a particular quality of light often bathes the hamlet, softening the edges of the houses and casting long, gentle shadows that seem to stretch back through time.
