Highmoor Cross, Oxfordshire Weather
About Highmoor Cross, Oxfordshire
Highmoor Cross catches the pale, slanted light of the Chilterns, where the air holds the sharp scent of damp beech leaves and flint. It lies 4.0 miles west-north-west of Henley-on-Thames (from Henley-on-Thames: bearing 284°T, OS grid SU 697 841), and is situated east of Stoke Row village. The landscape here is defined by the dense, ancient canopy of the Bear, Oveys and Great Bottom Woods SSSI, which presses close to the roadside as if to reclaim the tarmac. Travellers passing through Highmoor Cross often notice how the high, chalky ground drains quickly, leaving the lanes brittle and bright after a spring rain. To the south, the rising profile of Witheridge Hill breaks the horizon, offering a steady, earthen anchor to the surrounding fields. The quietude of Highmoor Cross is rarely disturbed, save for the rhythmic turning of agricultural machinery that marks the shifting of the seasons. Beneath the soil, the deep-seated chalk dictates the character of the gardens and the gnarled, slow-growing hedgerows that define the local boundaries. Here, the boundary between the cultivated garden and the wild wood remains thin and porous, allowing the character of the high plateau to assert itself over the domestic.
