Miles Cross, a quiet scattering of dwellings, breathes the soft air of Dorset's western reaches. It lies 1.8 km west of Bridport (from Bridport: bearing 271°T, OS grid SY 447 930), and is situated south-south-east of Symondsbury village. The landscape here is a gentle unfolding of chalk downland, often bathed in a pearly light that seems to soften the edges of the world. Ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and dog rose, trace the contours of fields that have been worked for generations, their soil a rich, dark loam. In the distance, the chalky scar of the South West Coast Path hints at the proximity of the sea, though Miles Cross itself is a place of inland peace. The architecture is a humble collection of stone and thatch, reflecting a long, unpretentious habitation, where the quiet hum of country life still holds sway.
