Long Compton, Warwickshire Weather
About Long Compton, Warwickshire
Long Compton stretches along the valley floor where the Cotswolds begin to soften into the Warwickshire plain. It lies 3.9 miles north-north-west of Chipping Norton (from Chipping Norton: bearing 337°T, OS grid SP 288 327), and is situated east of Barton-on-the-Heath village. Limestone cottages of honeyed hue line the main road, their gardens catching the pale, thin light that spills over the brow of Harrow Hill. To the south, the ancient, weathered monoliths of The Rollright Stones hold a heavy, silent vigil over the boundary of the county. A traveler might pause at the Long Compton Millennium Chronolog to observe how the shadows track the sun, marking the passage of hours against the stillness of the fields. Beyond the stone walls, the land rises into open, wind-swept ridges where the air tastes of damp earth and coming rain. The parish church, with its tower rising like a grey finger against the clouds, keeps watch over the quiet lanes where history is less a record than a physical weight in the masonry. This landscape demands a slow pace, rewarding the observant eye with the sight of hawks circling the high, empty spaces above the valley.
