Barrows, Somerset Weather
About Barrows, Somerset
Barrows occupies a quiet fold of earth where the limestone ribs of the Mendip Hills rise to meet the expansive Somerset sky. It lies 1.5 miles east-south-east of Axbridge (from Axbridge: bearing 110°T, OS grid ST 454 536), and is situated north-west of Cheddar village. The wind here carries a persistent, cool dampness from the nearby Holwell Rye, which marks the low ground with a silver, shifting boundary. Because Barrows remains cradled within the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the horizon is dominated by the stubborn, ancient heft of limestone ridges. To the north-north-east, the slopes of Warrens Hill hold the shadows of the morning for longer than the surrounding fields, grounding the landscape in a heavy, prehistoric stillness. The light in Barrows often takes on a pale, washed quality, filtering through the humid air that clings to the valley floor. History asserts itself in the earth nearby, where the remnants of an Anglo-Saxon and Norman royal palace lie waiting beneath the grass, barely half a mile away. Barrows persists as a place where the modern pulse of the county softens against the enduring, stony silence of the hills.
