About Breedon on the Hill, Leicestershire
Breedon on the Hill commands a limestone prominence that has long anchored the horizon of North West Leicestershire. It lies 4.9 miles north-east of Ashby-de-la-Zouch (from Ashby-de-la-Zouch: bearing 39°T, OS grid SK 406 228), and is situated west-south-west of Tonge village. High above the surrounding fields, the Breedon Hill SSSI reveals the ancient, rugged geology that has defined the character of the site for millennia. At the summit, the remnants of The Bulwarks provide a jagged silhouette against the sky, marking a prehistoric earthwork that once guarded this high ground. The light here seems to sharpen as it strikes the pale stone of the priory church, which stands as a solitary sentinel overlooking the plains below. Below the ridge, the land descends into the quieter, verdant reaches of the landscape where the Boden Brook meanders through the lower pastures. The air at this altitude possesses a bracing clarity, carrying the scent of exposed rock and distant, damp earth. Breedon on the Hill remains a place where the deep history of the terrain is still written in the sheer, abrupt faces of the cliffs and the enduring presence of its hilltop crown.
