Wetton, Staffordshire Weather
About Wetton, Staffordshire
Wetton holds a quiet authority over the limestone plateau, its grey-stone cottages standing firm against the insistent sweep of the Staffordshire wind. It lies 7.0 miles north-west of Ashbourne (from Ashbourne: bearing 319°T, OS grid SK 106 552), and is situated east-north-east of Grindon village. High above the deep ravines of the Peak District National Park, the air here possesses a thin, sharp clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the drystone walls. To the west, the jagged mouth of Thor’s Cave looms over the Manifold Valley, a dark, hollow eye watching the slow passage of clouds across the moor. Beneath the surface, the Hamps And Manifold Valleys SSSIs preserve a hidden world of swallow holes and subterranean rivers that drain the landscape of its sudden, heavy rains. A short walk to the south-east reveals the rounded silhouette of Wetton Low, where the earth rises in a soft, ancient mound to meet the sky. The sunlight catches the weathered facades of Wetton, illuminating the pale, porous stone that seems to drink the colour of the morning and hold it long into the dusk. Even in the stillness of a winter afternoon, one senses the weight of the geology beneath, a foundation of ancient reef limestone that dictates the austere beauty of the terrain.
