Scottow drifts across the low, flat horizons of Norfolk, a place where the sky feels heavy with the weight of shifting weather. It lies 4.2 miles south of North Walsham (from North Walsham: bearing 186°T, OS grid TG 279 235), and is situated south-west of Sloley village. The light here has a peculiar, washed-out clarity, illuminating the expansive fields that stretch toward the boundaries of The Broads National Park. Beneath the vast, pale dome of the East Anglian heavens, the earth retains a quiet, reclaimed stillness. Only a short distance away, the silent concrete of the former Royal Airforce Coltishall remains as a stark, skeletal reminder of mid-century urgency. Scottow carries this duality, where the ghosts of aviation history are slowly softened by the encroaching reeds and the steady, patient growth of the surrounding landscape. The nearby waters of Scottow Pond mirror the clouds, offering a glassy, silver respite from the starkness of the abandoned airfield. In this corner of the world, the wind moves with an uninterrupted purpose, carrying the scent of damp soil and the distant, cooling breath of the marshes.
