Bardon, Leicestershire Weather
About Bardon, Leicestershire
Bardon commands a rugged prominence where the ancient, volcanic bedrock of Charnwood Forest pushes through the thin, stubborn soil of the East Midlands. It lies 1.8 miles south-east of Coalville (from Coalville: bearing 140°T, OS grid SK 451 116), and is situated north-west of Stanton under Bardon village. The horizon here is dominated by the industrial gravity of Bardon Hill Quarry Sssi, where rhythmic excavations carve deep, geometric amphitheaters into the earth. Beyond the heavy machinery, the landscape softens toward the Penny Wakefield Community Woodland, where saplings reach toward the grey, restless light of the Leicestershire sky. The air in Bardon often carries the faint, mineral tang of crushed granite, a sharp reminder of the geological forces that define the local economy. On the higher ridges, the wind whistles with a bracing clarity, unobstructed as it sweeps over the exposed slopes of Billa Barra Hill. History lingers in the quiet corners of the parish, where the land has been shaped as much by the pickaxe as by the slow, seasonal turning of the plough. Bardon remains a place of hard edges and wide, open vistas, where the persistent vibration of the hills underscores the steady pulse of daily life.
