Dymock is a small village just outside the town of Ledbury, in Gloucestershire, where in the years before the Great War Robert Frost, Rupert Brooke and Edward Thomas lived and their friends came.

Linda Hart, chairman of the Friends of the Dymock Poets, has edited a paperback book, Once They Lived in Gloucestershire: A Dymock Poets Anthology ISBN 0 9526031 01, £ 5.95, Green Branch Press, that includes introductory essays about each of the poets. It is available from Ledbury Books & Maps, tel. 44 1531 633226 for orders using Visa or Mastercard (not American Express). The footpath maps are also available.
There is a permanent exhibition about the Dymock Poets in St Mary's Church in Dymock, about four miles south of Ledbury. From the churchyard there is a choice of two different circular walks along marked routes that have been named Poets Path I and Poets Path II.
