Somerby, Leicestershire Weather
About Somerby, Leicestershire
Somerby commands a high ridge of ironstone, where the expansive Leicestershire horizon gathers in the wide, pale light of the East Midlands. It lies 5.2 miles west-north-west of Oakham (from Oakham: bearing 283°T, OS grid SK 778 105), and is situated south-west of Pickwell village. The limestone masonry of the parish church catches the afternoon sun, casting long, sharp shadows across a landscape that has remained largely agricultural for centuries. To the north-west, the earth rises abruptly toward the ramparts of Burrough Hill, where the ancient, grass-grown earthworks of the Iron Age hill fort still hold the silence of the high plateau. Somerby maintains a quiet, deliberate pace, its lanes lined with dwellings that reflect the warm, ochre hues of the local stone. Beyond the edge of the houses, the terrain dips toward the remnants of the Augustinian abbey at Owston, where the landscape is marked by the lingering geometry of medieval fishponds. These fields hold a certain stillness, as if the land itself remembers the weight of the sheep that once formed the foundation of the local wool trade. The air here carries a crisp, open quality, unburdened by the density of the lowland valleys below.
