Saxton, North Yorkshire Weather
About Saxton, North Yorkshire
Saxton commands a quiet authority over the rolling limestone landscape of North Yorkshire, where the horizon stretches wide and indifferent to the passing of centuries. It lies 4.1 miles south of Tadcaster (from Tadcaster: bearing 188°T, OS grid SE 476 368), and is situated west of Scarthingwell village. The earth here retains a heavy, solemn memory of the 1461 Battle of Towton, which spilled its grim history across the fields just to the north. Visitors walking the footpath toward the remains of Saxton Castle find only the low, grassy swell of a motte and bailey, where the wind now sings through the hawthorn instead of the clash of steel. To the east, the rounded profile of Windmill Hill rises like a dormant shoulder of the earth, catching the pale, thin sunlight that defines these northern afternoons. The limestone bedrock asserts itself in the ancient stone walls that divide the pastures, their grey surfaces etched with the slow, silver maps of lichen. A sense of enduring stillness governs Saxton, as if the modern world were merely a temporary guest passing through the long, shadows of the countryside.
