Cocking, West Sussex Weather
About Cocking, West Sussex
Chalk downs rise like a pale, silent shoulder behind the flint-walled cottages of Cocking. It lies 2.4 miles south of Midhurst (from Midhurst: bearing 191°T, OS grid SU 878 176), and is situated east-south-east of Bepton village. The light here catches the high slopes, casting long, thin shadows that stretch across the valley floor as the sun dips behind the ridge. Cocking maintains its quietude within the protected embrace of the South Downs National Park, where the air tastes of damp earth and crushed limestone. A short distance away, the dark, damp recesses of the Singleton and Cocking Tunnels SSSI offer a subterranean contrast to the open, wind-swept heights above. Ancient earthworks, such as the Bowl Barrow on Cocking Down, mark the horizon with a heavy, deliberate permanence that defies the passing of decades. The terrain shifts from the cultivated gardens of the houses to the wilder, gorse-speckled contours of the chalk hills, defining the rhythm of life in this corner of the county.
