Farnborough, Berkshire Weather
About Farnborough, Berkshire
Farnborough observes the quiet passage of the seasons from a high, chalk-rich ridge that defines the Berkshire Downs. It lies 4.2 miles south-south-east of Wantage (from Wantage: bearing 149°T, OS grid SU 434 820), and is situated north-north-east of Brightwalton village. The landscape here is defined by a rigorous, open clarity where the wind sweeps across the fields with an unhindered, bracing intention. To the west, the slopes of Coombe Hill rise like a slumbering flank, catching the dawn light before it descends to touch the lower hedges of the lanes. Farnborough holds a stillness that seems to gather in the hollows, particularly where the water levels of Pickedstone Pond mirror the shifting, bruised purples of a gathering sky. Ancient earthworks ripple across the nearby ridges, marking a horizon that has long outlived those who first turned the soil. The architecture of the parish remains humble and sturdy, built to weather the sharp, biting frosts that settle over these elevations in mid-winter. Such a place demands a certain patience, as the vast, expansive heavens above the Downs dictate the mood of every passing day.
