Burrington, Gloucestershire Weather
About Burrington, Gloucestershire
Burrington commands the rugged limestone slopes where the Mendip Hills meet the expansive Somerset levels. It lies 4.2 miles north-east of Axbridge (from Axbridge: bearing 44°T, OS grid ST 479 593), and is situated west of Rickford village. The light here catches the pale, weathered stone of local cottages, reflecting a clarity that seems to sharpen the very edges of the horizon. Ancient earthworks, specifically the Slight Univallate Hillfort, watch over the high ground like silent sentinels of a forgotten age. Below these heights, the landscape softens into the verdant, sheltered folds of Burrington Combe Sssi, where the air holds a cool, subterranean dampness. Nearby, the Rock of Ages stands as a singular, craggy witness to the geological upheaval that carved these deep, dramatic ravines. Water plays a quiet, persistent music through the terrain, trickling towards the reservoir at the eastern edge of the parish. Burrington remains a place defined by its stark contrast between the exposed, wind-swept ridges and the hidden, moss-covered secrets tucked away in the limestone clefts.
