Designations In Gloucestershire / Forest (Announce)
Tump, of course, is a mispelling for Twymp as in Twmbarlwm Twymp in the glorious county of Monmouthshire. Lol.
Whilst on linguistic similarities between Monmouthshire and the FOD, I have lived all over South East England and been greeted with mystified stares when I mentioned the word Wimberry. However, I noticed a Wimberry Hill in the FOD. In Monmouthshire as a child I can rememmber many a glorious hour in July picking these glaucous black edible berries growing on the prostrate shrub Vaccinium Vitus-ideaus. These grew on Wimbery mountains of which there were many in the County (including Twmbarlwm crowned by the Iron Age Fort or Twymp).
