About Barkestone-le-Vale

Barkestone-le-Vale anchors the flat, fertile expanse of the Leicestershire plains with a quiet, enduring gravity. It lies 5.6 miles south-east of Bingham (from Bingham: bearing 125°T, OS grid SK 779 348), and is situated north-east of Plungar village. The horizon here is vast and indifferent, pressing down upon the tiled roofs and the sturdy stone of St John the Baptist Church with a heavy, atmospheric weight. Sunlight often catches the moisture rising from the nearby Vale of Belvoir, casting a bruised, indigo light over the fields that renders the earth almost metallic in its intensity. To the south-west, the Grantham Canal SSSI stretches like a dormant vein through the landscape, its stagnant surface reflecting the pale, shifting clouds of the East Midlands. Barkestone-le-Vale maintains a character forged by the relentless cycles of agriculture, where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the pace of life more than any human clock. The local architecture possesses a stark, utilitarian honesty, lacking the ornamental frippery of more decorative hamlets. Here, the air tastes of damp soil and distant coal smoke, a sensory remnant of the industrial history that once pulsed through these low-lying lands.
