Waxholme, East Riding of Yorkshire Weather
About Waxholme, East Riding of Yorkshire
Waxholme endures as a solitary outpost of brick and field perched precariously against the relentless erosion of the Holderness coastline. It lies 1.5 miles north-west of Withernsea (from Withernsea: bearing 326°T, OS grid TA 327 299). The North Sea exerts a cold, unyielding pressure here, stripping away the soft glacial till that defines the local geography. To the north-north-west, the sands at Sand le Mere shift with every tide, offering a stark reminder of the land’s gradual retreat into the grey, churning surf. Inland, the flat, heavy agricultural soil of Waxholme is criss-crossed by drainage channels like Tunstall Drain, which carry the weight of winter rains toward the sea. The horizon remains broad and unforgiving, broken only by the skeletal geometry of farm machinery or the occasional sweep of a gull’s wing against the low-hanging clouds. A peculiar, muted light illuminates the fields, casting long shadows that seem to stretch across the centuries rather than the hours. Waxholme maintains a quiet, stoic character, shaped by the salt-heavy winds that scrub the hedgerows clean and dictate the rhythm of life in this exposed corner of Yorkshire.
