Wykin, Leicestershire Weather
About Wykin, Leicestershire
Wykin retains a quiet dignity that seems to hold the very light of the Leicestershire sky in its open, unhurried fields. It lies 1.5 miles north-west of Hinckley (from Hinckley: bearing 309°T, OS grid SP 406 953), and is situated south-south-east of Stoke Golding village. The landscape here unfolds in long, deliberate reaches, where the shadow of the Hlaew and medieval farmstead nearby reminds the observer of how deeply the earth remembers those who worked it before. A mile to the south, the Battling Brook traces a silver thread through the pasture, its slow, persistent movement marking the rhythm of the local geography. Wykin persists as a place of agricultural character, where the architecture of farm buildings speaks in the plain, honest language of brick and slate. In the early morning, the mist clings to the low-lying meadows, catching the pale gold of the sun before it rises high enough to illuminate the distant rise of Crown Hill. The proximity to the wider Hinckley district allows the inhabitants to balance the solitude of the rural horizon with the sudden, sharp vitality of nearby market activity. Life in Wykin moves in sympathy with the seasonal turn, undisturbed by the hurried clamour of the modern world.
