Long Cross, Gloucestershire Weather
About Long Cross, Gloucestershire
Long Cross traces a quiet, unassuming line across the Gloucestershire landscape, defined more by the open sky than by grand architecture. It lies 4.7 miles south-east of Nailsea (from Nailsea: bearing 134°T, OS grid ST 527 654), and is situated south-east of Felton village. The terrain here rises with a deliberate, steady purpose, lifting the eye toward the distant horizon where the light often turns a thin, metallic grey. To the west, the ancient earthworks of the Bowl Barrow near Poplar Farm suggest a long-forgotten occupation, their weathered mounds sinking slowly into the modern pasture. A short walk to the north-east leads to the Hartcliff Rocks, where the limestone outcrops break through the turf like the spine of a submerged beast. These geological scars offer a sharp vantage point, providing a clear view of the surrounding fields that remain largely indifferent to the passing of time. Long Cross occupies this elevated ground with a stoic silence, keeping its secrets beneath the roots of hawthorn and ash. The air here holds a crisp, bracing quality, smelling faintly of damp stone and the wide, unencumbered space of the South West.
