Drymere reveals itself as a modest collection of habitations tucked into the sandy, porous terrain of the Norfolk Breckland. It lies 2.7 miles south-west of Swaffham (from Swaffham: bearing 236°T, OS grid TF 784 064), and is situated north-north-west of Cockley Cley village. The light here possesses a particular clarity, filtering through the pine-scented air that drifts from the nearby Cockleycley Heath to settle upon the quiet lanes. Drymere remains a place of sparse, open horizons where the soil, thin and hungry, dictates the pace of the surrounding agricultural life. To the north-northeast, the canopy of Swaffham Heath provides a dark, verdant counterpoint to the pale, shifting hues of the open fields. One might walk for hours, observing how the sky dominates the landscape, pressing down with a vast, pale intensity that makes the human scale of the nearby cottages seem quite fragile. The silence of the Breckland is not an absence of sound, but a deliberate, watchful presence that defines the character of Drymere throughout the changing seasons.
