Little Rissington, Gloucestershire Weather
About Little Rissington, Gloucestershire
Limestone cottages of honeyed hue define the quiet, sloping streets of Little Rissington. It lies 3.8 miles south of Stow-on-the-Wold (from Stow-on-the-Wold: bearing 180°T, OS grid SP 191 196), and is situated west of Upper Rissington village. The wind carries a thin, sharp clarity across the fields here, brushing past the ancient earthworks of the Wyck Beacon Bowl Barrow where the horizon seems to hold its breath. Below the ridge, the landscape settles into a series of pale, rhythmic folds that catch the low autumn sun. To the northwest, the damp, verdant expanse of Salmonsbury Meadows SSSI provides a sanctuary for water-loving flora that thrive in the rich, heavy silt. Little Rissington keeps the memory of the sky, having hosted a Royal Air Force station that once filled the clouds with the hum of training aircraft. Today, the stillness returns to the limestone walls, leaving only the sound of distant sheep and the weight of the long, pale afternoon.
