Octon, East Riding of Yorkshire Weather
About Octon, East Riding of Yorkshire
Chalky ridges and thin, flint-strewn soils define the quiet elevation of Octon. It lies 7.6 miles north of Driffield (from Driffield: bearing 5°T, OS grid TA 032 699), and is situated west of Thwing village. The wind here carries a crisp, unyielding clarity, sweeping across the open wolds where the earth holds the memory of those who lived before. A short distance away, the Deserted Village Of Octon remains as a hushed, six-hectare skeleton of stone foundations beneath the grass. To the northwest, the rounded humps of Old Hill and Paddock Hill break the horizon with a stoic, prehistoric patience. The light in Octon possesses a stark quality, bleaching the lanes until they seem almost white against the deep, verdant hedges of the agricultural fields. No grand monuments interrupt this solitude, only the persistent, rhythmic industry of the surrounding farms. Here, the landscape does not ask for attention; it simply endures, marked by the slow passage of clouds and the shifting textures of the high, exposed terrain.
