Cross Lanes, Dorset Weather
About Cross Lanes, Dorset
Cross Lanes marks a quiet intersection where the chalky bones of the Dorset landscape press firmly against the sky. It lies 7.6 miles south-south-west of Sturminster Newton (from Sturminster Newton: bearing 192°T, OS grid ST 759 022), and is situated south-south-west of Ansty village. The wind carries a thin, sharp chill across the open slopes as it moves toward the modest flow of Mash Water, which gathers the runoff from the higher ground. To the south-south-east, the rise of Henning Hill dominates the horizon, its flank catching the pale, bruised light of late afternoon. Beyond the immediate fields, the historic parkland of Bingham’s Melcombe keeps its own counsel, holding the silence of centuries within its boundaries. Cross Lanes remains a place of sparse gestures, where the hedges are trimmed low against the encroaching exposure of the downs. The earth here retains the stubborn character of an ancient, working geography, indifferent to the passing of modern vehicles. Here, the road serves as a brief, grey artery cutting through a silence that persists long after the sun has retreated behind the ridges.
