Plush, Dorset Weather
About Plush, Dorset
Plush keeps its quiet countenances beneath the chalky ridges of the Dorset downs, where the sunlight falls in long, pale ribbons across the grass. It lies 7.3 miles north of Dorchester (from Dorchester: bearing 11°T, OS grid ST 714 022), and is situated east of Alton Pancras village. To the west, the slopes of West Hill rise like the humped back of a sleeping creature, casting shadows that stretch toward the flint-walled cottages by late afternoon. The land here holds the ghosts of older lives, evidenced by the ancient, grassy outlines of the field system and settlement on West Hill that mark the earth with silent, geometric precision. From the high vantage of Plush Hill, the air tastes of wild thyme and the cold, thin clarity of a high-altitude spring. Below, the valley floor of Watcombe Bottom draws the mist into its throat, holding the damp breath of the hills until the sun eventually burns it away. Plush remains a place of slow, deliberate movements, defined by the stubborn persistence of stone and the relentless turning of the seasons.
