Tockington Gloucestershire Map

About Tockington

Tockington rests gently within Gloucestershire's verdant embrace. It lies 4.5 km south-west of Thornbury (from Thornbury: bearing 216°T, OS grid ST 609 866), and is situated south-west of Old Down village. The subtle curve of its lanes, where ancient hedgerows still hold their ground, suggests a quiet unfolding of centuries, the light catching the dew-kissed leaves of oak and ash. In Tockington, the air often carries the faint scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, a testament to its enduring agricultural roots. The clustered stone of its dwellings, warmed by the afternoon sun, speaks of a community built in partnership with the land, each dwelling a small anchor against the wider sweep of the countryside. Here, time seems to flow with a gentler current, marked by the changing seasons rather than the clamour of a bustling centre.
