Cross, Somerset Weather
About Cross, Somerset
Cross holds its own against the limestone rise of the Mendip Hills, where the light pulls thin and sharp across the grey stone walls. It lies 1.2 miles west of Axbridge (from Axbridge: bearing 276°T, OS grid ST 411 547), and is situated east-south-east of Compton Bishop village. The air here carries the faint, damp scent of the nearby River Yeo, a waterway that marks the low-lying boundary of the parish. To the north, the steep, craggy face of Crook Peak to Shute Shelve Hill SSSI dominates the horizon, casting long, bruised shadows over the pastures in the late afternoon. Cross maintains a quiet, stony resolve, its houses gathered as if to watch the shifting weather patterns that roll in from the Bristol Channel. The local geography is defined by this proximity to rugged uplands, creating a landscape of stark contrasts between the high, wind-battered ridges and the fertile, flat ground below. History remains held in the weathered masonry of the older buildings, which appear to have grown directly from the bedrock. Every lane in Cross serves as a reminder of the proximity to the ancient, jagged geology that defines this corner of Somerset.
