Burnstones, Northumberland Weather
About Burnstones, Northumberland
Burnstones emerges from the rugged expanse of the North Pennines as a sparse collection of stone dwellings defined by the relentless, cleansing winds of the high country. It lies 5.5 miles north-north-west of Alston (from Alston: bearing 332°T, OS grid NY 675 543), and is situated north of Slaggyford village. The light here possesses a crystalline quality that renders the distant outline of Proudy Hill sharp enough to pierce the pale, shifting clouds. Below the rugged slopes, the clear waters of Thinhope Burn carve a path through the earth, singing a cold, rhythmic song as they hurry toward the South Tyne. Burnstones sits amidst an austere landscape where the damp, peaty breath of The Bog Sssi clings to the lower ground, softening the edges of the jagged moorland rock. Life in these parts has long been measured by the slow, seasonal shifts of sheep farming rather than the frantic pace of the lowlands. The architecture of Burnstones reflects a stoic endurance, with heavy masonry built to withstand the winters that arrive early and linger long after the first buds appear. Every gatepost and drystone wall seems to hold the quiet, unspoken history of those who first cleared the heather to make a home in this high, silent solitude.
