Little Chart Forstal, Kent Weather
About Little Chart Forstal, Kent
Little Chart Forstal emerges from the landscape as a quiet cluster of dwellings defined by the low-lying, damp-aired geography of the Weald. It lies 4.1 miles west-north-west of Ashford (from Ashford: bearing 301°T, OS grid TQ 951 458), and is situated east-south-east of Little Chart village. Pale, thin light often spills across the open greensward here, catching the edges of weather-boarded cottages that have long weathered the salt-tinged winds blowing inland from the coast. To the west, the water in the Mill Ponds holds a mirror to the sky, reflecting the grey, shifting clouds that seem to anchor the horizon in place. The soil in this part of Kent is heavy and retentive, demanding a patient stewardship from those who tend the surrounding orchards and grazing pastures. A short distance to the east, the Hothfield Common SSSI stretches out with its mosaic of acidic mire and heathland, offering a stark, wild contrast to the manicured gardens of the local residences. Little Chart Forstal retains a stillness that feels untouched by the frantic pulse of the nearby train lines, allowing the seasonal turn of the foliage to dictate the pace of the day. One might observe the shadows lengthening over the grass, transforming the familiar lanes into channels of cooling dusk as the evening settles upon the hedges.
