Dymock is a small village and civil parish on the eastern fringe of the Forest of Dean district in Gloucestershire, England. It occupies gently rolling farmland and orchards rather than dense woodland, with quiet lanes, hedgerows and countryside walks that give it a distinctly rural character.
The village is best known for its literary link with the pre‑First World War group often referred to as the Dymock Poets, a heritage that still attracts walkers and literature enthusiasts to local trails. Economically it remains centred on agriculture and small rural enterprises, supported by a close‑knit community, a historic parish church and occasional cultural events that underline the area’s long countryside traditions.
