Flete, Kent Weather
About Flete, Kent
Flete occupies a quiet corner of the Kentish landscape where the sky seems to press closer to the earth. It lies 1.8 miles south-south-west of Margate (from Margate: bearing 194°T, OS grid TR 347 679), and is situated north-west of Lydden village. The light here catches the flint and chalk of the fields, turning the horizon into a pale, shifting canvas that changes with every passing cloud. A short distance away, the remnants of the past linger at Salmestone Grange, where the heavy stone walls hold the memories of centuries in their unyielding grip. Flete maintains a modest distance from the nearby roar of aviation history, yet the hum of the Spitfire and Hurricane Memorial Museum remains a faint vibration in the air during the summer months. The fields around Flete are marked by the patient labour of generations, their boundaries defined by hedges that hold the sharp, salty scent of the nearby coast. When the wind shifts, it carries the dry, metallic suggestion of the industrial heritage that once defined the wider district. Flete exists in this steady equilibrium, neither seeking the attention of the bustling coast nor yielding to the silence of the deeper countryside.
