Ratcliffe on the Wreake, Leicestershire Weather
About Ratcliffe on the Wreake, Leicestershire
Ratcliffe on the Wreake occupies a high, sloping promontory that looks down across the shallow, winding valley of the River Wreake. It lies 1.8 miles north of Syston (from Syston: bearing 7°T, OS grid SK 630 145), and is situated north-west of East Goscote village. The limestone walls of the Church of St Botolph catch the low afternoon sun, casting long, sharp shadows across the ancient, uneven ground of the churchyard. To the south, the water of Black Pool holds a dark, glassy stillness that reflects the changing clouds of the Leicestershire sky. Beyond the edge of the houses, the land drops away toward the water-meadows where Queniborough Brook meanders through the silt. The air here carries a distinct clarity, sharpened by the open exposure of the ridge that defines the local topography. Ratcliffe on the Wreake retains an austere, quiet composure, far removed from the mechanical hum of the nearby transit routes. This high ground remains a place of long, unbroken horizons where the wind moves with an audible sigh through the skeletal branches of the field elms.
