Whitecross, Somerset Weather
About Whitecross, Somerset
Whitecross emerges from the flat, verdant expanse of the Somerset Levels as a quiet cluster of dwellings defined by the slow pulse of the surrounding fields. It lies 1.9 miles south-south-west of Langport (from Langport: bearing 207°T, OS grid ST 406 241), and is situated south of Drayton village. The landscape here is governed by the sky, which reflects in the silver threads of the Drayton Drain as it meanders through the low-lying pastures nearby. Ancient earth holds the memory of past inhabitants, particularly where the Roman House remains, a subtle mound suggesting the long-reaching influence of antiquity upon this soil. Whitecross retains a modest character, where the horizon remains wide and unobstructed by the clutter of modern expansion. To the south-east, the vast, damp reaches of the West Moor SSSI stretch out, acting as a sanctuary for seasonal birds that arrive with the changing light of the seasons. The air in Whitecross often carries the crisp, damp scent of the nearby watercourses, grounding the hamlet in a cycle of flood and harvest that has persisted for generations. Every lane leading away from the houses offers a view of the distant, gentle slopes that frame this small, persistent corner of the county.
