Buttermere, Wiltshire Weather
About Buttermere, Wiltshire
Buttermere remains a quiet assembly of stone and flint, held fast by the chalky folds of the North Wessex Downs. It lies 4.4 miles south of Hungerford (from Hungerford: bearing 179°T, OS grid SU 339 613), and is situated south-south-east of Ham village. A stillness hangs over the landscape here, where the pale light of evening stretches across the fields to touch the still surface of Buttermere Pond. To the north-north-east, the slopes of Ham Hill rise with a subtle, grassy authority that dictates the movement of the local winds. Ancient burial mounds sit atop the nearby ridges, marking the horizon with the heavy, silent weight of long-forgotten centuries. The earth underfoot is rich with the porous character of the chalk, draining quickly to leave the paths firm even after the persistent rains of winter. Buttermere keeps its own counsel, a sequestered pocket of Wiltshire that prefers the company of the open sky to the noise of the wider world.
