Higher Dimson settles into the Cornish landscape like a forgotten thought, a cluster of dwellings where the land dips and rises with a quiet insistence. It lies 6.3 km west-south-west of Tavistock (from Tavistock: bearing 239°T, OS grid SX 426 713), and is situated west-south-west of Gunnislake village. The air here often carries the damp, earthy scent of the surrounding fields, a fragrance deepened by the frequent mists that can shroud the low hills, softening their edges into something dreamlike. Higher Dimson, though small, possesses a certain resilience, its stone cottages bearing witness to generations who have worked this soil. The quality of the light, when the clouds break, possesses a pale, almost ethereal glow, illuminating the rough-hewn textures of the local granite. A faint murmur of distant sheep bleating can sometimes be heard, a sound that seems to echo the quietude of the place.
