About Broadflash

Broadflash gathers the pale, thin light of the Norfolk sky across its quiet, open fields. It lies 1.6 miles south of Watton (from Watton: bearing 189°T, OS grid TL 912 982), and is situated north-north-west of Pockthorpe village. The horizon here possesses a sharp, clean geometry, defined by the ancient silence of the tumuli on Sparrow Hill that loom just to the south-south-west. Broadflash remains a place where the wind carries the scent of damp earth and distant, turning machinery from the nearby agricultural plains. To the north-east, the dense, shadowed canopy of Wayland Wood offers a stark contrast to the flat, expansive openness of the surrounding Breckland terrain. The Merton Village Sign stands a short distance to the north-west, a marker of local identity that watches over the slow passage of traffic along the narrow lanes. Every season here brings a subtle change in the colour of the hedgerows, shifting from the harsh, skeletal grey of winter to a vibrant, insistent green. Life in Broadflash is dictated by the turning of the soil and the vast, unblinking eye of the heavens above the flat horizon.
