Puncknowle, Dorset Weather
About Puncknowle, Dorset
Puncknowle reveals its character through the stubborn, honey-coloured limestone of its cottages, which seem to hold the warmth of the sun long after the light has faded from the Dorset fields. It lies 5.0 miles east-south-east of Bridport (from Bridport: bearing 121°T, OS grid SY 534 886), and is situated east-north-east of Swyre village. High above the rooftops, the ancient earthworks of the Three Bowl Barrows on the Knoll stand as silent, grassy sentinels that overlook the coastline. The air here carries a sharp tang of salt, travelling up from the English Channel to brush against the weathered stone of the parish church. Puncknowle occupies a landscape where the sharp, sudden rise of the Knoll provides a natural vantage point for watching the shifting grey and blue of the sky. To the south, the waters of West Bexington Pond reflect the heavy clouds that frequently gather above the coastal slope. This terrain demands a sturdy pace, as the ground rises and falls with a muscular grace that defies any notion of softness. Every lane and boundary hedge serves as a reminder of a long-standing agricultural inheritance, quiet and enduring in the face of the changing seasons.
