Weather:
Like many seaside towns, Saxton's weather is an ever changing
and surprising force. The high Spring tides often result in
flooding during the months of April and May, but the town
is well protected by the Harbour Wall (installed by Frederick
Ager, in 1847) and the impressive rocks of Grindle's
Claw.
Many treasure hunters arrive during May, to sift through the
newly exposed sand dunes and cliff sides, in the hope of glimpsing
one of Saxton's long lost treasures. Some believe a great
treasure, an Anglo-Saxon Crown, is still waiting out there,
in The Fen.
This area of Anglia is also known for the Spring mists and
fog, which roll in off of the North Sea, to shroud the town
in an eerie half light. Later in the year, (June through to
August), the town enjoys the bright English sunshine well
known to tourists and travelers. Be sure to bring a cap, as
long walks through the lanes of Northfield can result in a
touch of sunburn! |
