West Hill, Devon Weather
About West Hill, Devon
West Hill emerges from the pine-scented air of East Devon as a scattering of residences defined by their proximity to the wild, elevated heaths. It lies 2.0 miles west-south-west of Ottery St Mary (from Ottery St Mary: bearing 241°T, OS grid SY 069 938), and is situated north-west of Metcombe village. The horizon here is dominated by the broad, brooding shoulder of Rockbeare Hill, which draws the eye westward across a landscape of shifting shadows and sudden glades. To the east, the earth rises toward the ancient, silent earthworks of Belbury Castle, where the wind sings through the gorse with a hollow, persistent intensity. West Hill breathes in the quiet solitude of these heights, where the light seems to catch on the needles of the silver birch and pine, turning the afternoon into a pale, translucent gold. Long, narrow lanes wind through the canopy, connecting homes that prefer the privacy of the woods to the clustered familiarity of a traditional square. There is a sharp, clean clarity to the atmosphere that distinguishes West Hill from the softer, damper valleys found further toward the coast. Life here moves in time with the changing seasons of the surrounding ridges, where the heather blooms in late summer to stain the hillsides a deep, bruising purple.
