Thatched cottage, Dymock

High House, Dymock

The former rectory, dating from the early 18th century. Recently smartened up and now flats. In Pevsner, Verey describes the house as 'upstanding' - I can't improve on that.

Philip Pankhurst

Ann Cam's School, Dymock

The former village school, built in 1825.

Former railway bridge, Tillers Green

Beautifully constructed on a slight skew of brick and stone, this bridge took a farm track over the former GWR branch from Ledbury to Gloucester and may one day straddle the rebuilt Hereford to Gloucester canal, which the railway replaced.

Pound Farm dates from the 16th century and is seen from the former GWR railway bridge at Tillers Green.

Woods Cottage, Dymock

One of a series of ancient timbered cottages lining the village street in Dymock.

The Old Cottage, Dymock

Aptly named cruck cottage on the main street in this attractive village, which is forever associated with daffodils and poets.

Great Wadley, Dymock

Large early 19th century house in the village centre. Formerly an inn and a shop, but now just dignified housing. The 1884 datestone is a mystery, however.

Dymock Village

The first view of the historic village centre that would have greeted rail passengers arriving at Dymock station. It's a view that has hardly changed since the railway closed to passengers in 1959.
