Box, Gloucestershire Weather
About Box, Gloucestershire
Box reveals itself as a collection of limestone cottages clinging to the steep western slopes of the Cotswolds. It lies 0.8 miles west-south-west of Minchinhampton (from Minchinhampton: bearing 248°T, OS grid SO 859 002), and is situated south-east of Amberley village. The entire topography of Box remains defined by the sweeping, ancient grasses of Minchinhampton Common SSSI, which provides a vast, open horizon that catches the shifting light of the Severn Vale. Below these high, windswept pastures, the incline drops sharply towards the hidden, damp shadows of the Nailsworth Stream. Box maintains a quiet independence, its architecture reflecting the pale, honeyed hue of local oolitic stone that seems to hold the warmth of the sun long after dusk. A short distance away, the quiet earth of the Box Farm Meadows SSSI sustains a fragile biodiversity that has persisted through centuries of agricultural change. There is an austerity to the landscape here, where the wind carries the clean, sharp scent of high ground, reminding any traveller that Box belongs as much to the sky as it does to the soil.
