Northwood, Kent Weather
About Northwood, Kent
Northwood occupies a quiet corner of the Kentish landscape where the high, salt-touched air of the coast meets the steady persistence of the inland plains. It lies 1.5 miles west-south-west of Broadstairs (from Broadstairs: bearing 258°T, OS grid TR 370 672), and is situated east-north-east of Haine village. Low-lying fields stretch out from Northwood, their soil holding the pale, chalky dust that defines so much of this eastern reach of the Isle of Thanet. A short walk to the south-south-west brings one to the quiet enclosure of The Copse, where the trees break the steady sweep of the wind across the open ground. The light here has a sharp, clarifying quality, turning the late afternoon shadows into long, cool fingers that reach across the tarmac and garden hedges. A mile or so to the north-east, the community of St Peter's Village Green offers a more groomed aspect, yet the character of Northwood remains tethered to the functional, unadorned rhythm of its roads and modest brick dwellings. History here is quiet, buried beneath the topsoil or stored in the memory of those who watch the seasons turn over the flat horizon. Every evening, the sun retreats behind the distant silhouettes of the western hills, leaving the sky to bruise into shades of violet and bruised plum.
