Windmill Bank, Staffordshire Weather
About Windmill Bank, Staffordshire
Windmill Bank occupies a quiet ridge where the air thins and sharpens against the Staffordshire horizon. It lies 2.1 miles north-north-west of Burntwood (from Burntwood: bearing 345°T, OS grid SK 054 122), and is situated north-north-east of Gentleshaw village. The ground beneath Windmill Bank forms part of the Gentleshaw Common SSSI, a landscape of heath and bracken where the light falls in long, pale ribbons across the acidic soil. To the south-west, the stone skeleton of The Old Windmill stands as a silent monitor over the shifting moods of the moorland. Further west, the ramparts of Castle Ring crown the elevated terrain, their ancient earthworks holding the memory of iron-age winters. Windmill Bank remains defined by this proximity to wilder, uncultivated expanses that resist the tidiness of modern enclosures. The silence here carries a weight, broken only by the sudden flight of birds rising from the gorse towards the higher ground of Gentleshaw Hill. Through the changing seasons, Windmill Bank observes the slow, deliberate rotation of the sky above the open common.
