About Lea

Lea, a hamlet in Herefordshire, breathes the quiet air of the West Midlands. It lies 3.1 km north of Mitcheldean (from Mitcheldean: bearing 355°T, OS grid SO 661 216), and is situated east of Pontshill Marsh village. The gentle slope of the land here, soft with the green velvet of pasture, leads the eye towards the distant, hazy outlines of the Forest of Dean, a vast, ancient woodland whose breath seems to mingle with the very air of Lea. A scattering of cottages, their stone walls softened by the passage of seasons, huddle together as if for warmth against the vast openness of the sky, their slate roofs catching the pale, watery sunlight that often graces this corner of England. The roads, narrow and winding like ancient footpaths, whisper tales of a time when journeys were measured by the strength of a horse and the endurance of a traveller.
