Dymock - Forest ? (General)

Hi Jefff

Thanks so much for taking the time to inform an unknowing Antipodean! Lots of useful information for me to follow up.

We haven't been to Dymock - on our first trip to Britain in 2004 we kept our excursions to the Forest places where the Hopkins/Joseph mob came from, which were pretty much all with the St Briavels Hundred. We stayed in a B & B at Hillersland for a few nights as our base.

On our second trip in 2006 we drove from Fishguard across to Oxford and stayed on the A40 so only skirted the Forest really.

It would seem that strictly speaking Dymock lies outside the boundaries of the Forest, but there would be such a community of interest that it is great it is included on this site.

Thanks once again.
John

If you look back over the site and its evolution then the area of interest has fortunately never been the tight area within the hundred of st briavels. I tend to go approx by the river boundaries of the severn wye and leadon. But its always grey at the edges !

Enjoy
