About Norris Hill, Leicestershire
Norris Hill emerges from the Leicestershire landscape as a quiet witness to the slow reclamation of the earth by the hand of man. It lies 1.9 miles west of Ashby-de-la-Zouch (from Ashby-de-la-Zouch: bearing 268°T, OS grid SK 327 166), and is situated south of Blackfordby village. The terrain here holds a particular, austere weight, defined by the lingering memory of coal extraction that once defined the horizon. Much of the land around Norris Hill now forms a vital portion of Hicks Lodge, where the rhythmic churning of heavy industry has been replaced by the soft tread of cyclists and the rustle of new-growth timber. To the west, the cooling shadows of Hanging Hill provide a steady landmark against the shifting afternoon sun. The air carries a crisp, open quality, unburdened by the smoke that surely clouded the lives of ancestors who laboured in these pits. This transformation from scarred ground to green expanse suggests a patient, enduring resilience in the soil itself. Norris Hill remains a place where the modern world observes a respectful silence, allowing the reclaimed forests to dictate the pace of the day.
