Slape Cross, Somerset Weather
About Slape Cross, Somerset
Slape Cross marks a quiet junction where the flat, expansive Somerset landscape stretches toward a horizon seemingly infinite in its reach. It lies 1.9 miles east-north-east of Bridgwater (from Bridgwater: bearing 67°T, OS grid ST 325 381), and is situated south-south-east of Horsey village. The air here carries a damp, saline weight, a lingering breath of the Bristol Channel that clings to the low-lying fields. Slape Cross sits firmly within the Somerset Wetlands, where the light shifts with a mercurial temperament, turning the winter grasses into shades of bruised copper and pale gold. To the north-north-west, the earth bears the faint, ghost-like indentations of the Horsey Medieval Settlement, a reminder of the generations that once worked these heavy soils. Nearer still, the rising prominence of Peasy Hill provides a modest vantage point from which to observe the rhythmic turning of the seasons across the water-meadows. Slape Cross remains a place of subtle transitions, where the industry of the nearby town fades into the stillness of the reclaimed marshland.
