Every Stop Has a Story

Laurie's Local

Laurie Lee's local, a 17th-century pub he helped save from closure, with his old village school standing across the road.

Between Pub and Church

Laurie Lee lies in this churchyard within sight of his local pub, beneath a headstone that reads "He lies in the valley he loved."

Set Down from the Carrier's Cart

The cottage where Laurie Lee grew up, remembered in Cider with Rosie for its frogs in the cellar and mushrooms on the ceiling.

The Lee Family Wood

Once the Lee family's own woodland, this ancient hazel wood opened to the public on what would have been Laurie Lee's 99th birthday.

Above the Valley

The hill from Cider with Rosie, where 13 kinds of orchid grow and the view on a clear day reaches Wales.
