Murton, Cumbria Weather
About Murton, Cumbria
Murton remains a robust presence amidst the rugged topography of the Pennine foothills, where the limestone soils dictate the spare, clean lines of the local architecture. It lies 2.9 miles east-north-east of Appleby-in-Westmorland (from Appleby-in-Westmorland: bearing 73°T, OS grid NY 727 217), and is situated north-north-west of Hilton village. The light here possesses a singular clarity, sharpening the edges of the dry-stone walls that divide the fields into a patchwork of pale greens and muted greys. To the east, the slopes of Blue Hill rise abruptly, their heather-clad summits catching the shadows of passing clouds with an almost rhythmic regularity. Residents look toward the horizon where the open expanse of Gasdale carves a deep, silent passage into the high ground. The air in Murton carries a sharp, metallic coolness, untainted by the clamour of the lowlands and perpetually stirred by the winds coming off the fells. A stroll toward the eastern edge reveals the quiet expanse of The Green, a space where the grass grows close to the earth, beaten into submission by centuries of weather and patient grazing. History lies scattered in the landscape, visible in the weathered foundations of ancient stone circles that wait in the tall grass for those who seek them. Murton holds its own counsel, defined by the relentless, beautiful indifference of the hills that loom above its slate roofs.
