About Old Down

Old Down rests in a gentle curve of Gloucestershire countryside, a place where the air often carries the scent of damp earth and ripening hedgerows. It lies 3.4 km south-west of Thornbury (from Thornbury: bearing 215°T, OS grid ST 616 873), and is situated north-east of Tockington village. The fields surrounding Old Down are frequently a patchwork of deep greens and golds, the light catching the dew on the grass in the early morning, a quiet spectacle before the day's labours begin. Here, the land slopes with a subtle grace, hinting at the ancient watercourses that have shaped its character over millennia. Though not a bustling hub, Old Down possesses a placid demeanour, its scattered homes and lanes reflecting a long-established presence within this corner of the South West. The very quietude of Old Down, punctuated only by the distant bleating of sheep or the rustle of leaves, imbues it with a sense of enduring peace.
