Sonning Eye, Oxfordshire Weather
About Sonning Eye, Oxfordshire
Sonning Eye draws its character from the quiet, rhythmic silver of the Thames as it bends through the Oxfordshire landscape. It lies 1.8 miles north-north-west of Woodley (from Woodley: bearing 342°T, OS grid SU 752 759), and is situated north-west of Sonning village. The low-lying meadows here hold a pale, dampened light that seems to cling to the riverbanks long after the sun has retreated behind the trees. A short walk to the south-east leads to the Mill at Sonning, where the brickwork carries the damp, earthy scent of water-driven industry from centuries past. Beyond the immediate banks, the slow, deliberate current of the Mill Stream acts as a mirror for the overhanging willows, softening the hard edges of the horizon. Sonning Eye remains defined by this proximity to water, which dictates the pace of the seasons and the subtle shifts in the soil. The architecture, comprised of modest dwellings and historic frames, sits with a quiet patience against the backdrop of the expansive floodplain. Each morning, the mist rises from the river to soften the transition between the solid earth and the pale, vast sky of the South East.
