Dunkeswell, Devon Weather
About Dunkeswell, Devon
Dunkeswell commands a high, airy plateau in the Blackdown Hills, where the horizon broadens to capture the pale, fleeting light of the Devon sky. It lies 4.7 miles north-north-west of Honiton (from Honiton: bearing 342°T, OS grid ST 140 078), and is situated east-south-east of Sheldon village. The landscape surrounding Dunkeswell bears the marks of an old airfield, its vast, flat expanses now contrasting with the wild, unkempt slopes of Blossom Hill nearby. Local history finds a quiet home at the Dunkeswell Heritage Centre, where the remnants of wartime ingenuity are preserved against the slow encroachment of the weeds. Beyond the tarmac, the terrain dips toward the Rough Grey Bottom, a hollow where the air cools and the shadows of the hills gather early in the day. The ground here is thin and stony, supporting a stubborn, hardy flora that thrives despite the winds sweeping across the high ridges. Life in Dunkeswell remains tied to these open, expansive vistas, far removed from the sheltered, damp bottoms of the deeper valleys. This high elevation grants every resident a vantage point over the patchwork fields, where the colour of the earth shifts with the passing of every cloud.
