Snittongate Shropshire Map

About Snittongate

Snittongate, a quiet hamlet in Shropshire, carries the faint, earthy scent of damp soil and ancient hedgerows. It lies 5.3 km east of Ludlow (from Ludlow: bearing 83°T, OS grid SO 563 752), and is situated west-north-west of Knowbury village. The land around Snittongate falls away in gentle slopes, the fields often appearing as patches of muted green and ochre under the vast, changeable sky. A small, unnamed brook, barely more than a whisper of water, meanders through the landscape, its banks often fringed with ferns and the hardy blooms of wild garlic in the spring. The houses of Snittongate, predominantly built from weathered brick and stone, seem to have grown organically from the earth, their roofs often softened by moss and lichen. The air here, away from the bustle of larger towns, possesses a peculiar clarity, allowing one to discern the distant bleating of sheep or the rustle of leaves in the ancient oaks that punctuate the fields.
