The Beauchamp Arms is what you expect of a classic, English, village pub.
There is a fireplace in the bar, polished furniture, brasses, and other
ornaments: all adding to the homely welcome you will receive.
The pub always has a good selection of
real ales and other drinks.
Pub food is served in the bar and the restaurant
at lunch-time and in the evening.
Dymock is famous for its wild daffodils. There are many walks in the area:
one starts
from St Mary's church and ends at the Beauchamp Arms
(
see here for directions).
Dymock is well-kown for the
Dymock Poets
(Rupert Brooke, Edward Thomas,
Wilfred Gibson, Lascelles Abercrombie, Robert Frost, and John Drinkwater)
who lived in Dymock during the First World War.
The Beauchamp Arms is said to date from the late 16th century, and was a
stop on the coach road from Ledbury to Newent and Gloucester.
The Beauchamp Arms is owned by the community;
it was bought by the Parish Council in 1997.
The pub is at the focal point of the village being adjacent to the Parish Hall,
St Mary's church, and the village green (Wintours Green).
The pub is actively supported by the Friends of the Beauchamp Arms
(aka FoBA).
Dymock is a friendly and vibrant village found alongside the B4215,
four miles from Newent. It's a thriving community with a lovely church,
St Mary's, that stands proudly at the rear of Wintour's Green.
The church houses an exhibition on the famous Dymock Poets.
We are also fortunate in having Western Way Chapel
that offers so much to the community.
The village still boasts a shop and post office and has a well-used
parish hall that hosts many of the local groups and societies
that entertain all the year around.
There is a thriving cricket club that helps young people to take part in sport.
The countryside around Dymock is rightly famed for its masses
of wild daffodils that can be seen every spring.
