Welcome

In the years leading up to the First World War, literary history was being made around the village of Dymock in the valley of the River Leadon.

Six poets were walking and talking, reading and writing here between May Hill in Gloucestershire and the Malvern Hills in Herefordshire.

The Friends of the Dymock Poets celebrates the lives and work of these six poets and their relationship with the Dymock area.

They were:

Lascelles Abercrombie Rupert Brooke John Drinkwater

Robert Frost Wilfrid Gibson Edward Thomas

This website provides information on the poets, their poetry, the history and activities of the Friends of the Dymock Poets, and the Dymock area.
