For a long time, I wanted to live in Hope.








All right, its proper name is Hope under Dinmore, but I still wanted to. We drove past it at least four times a year for many years, and somehow never had time to make a detour off the A49 to have a look at it, but I suspect it is probably rather dull…

It’s quite small. Pleasant, iirc.

It used to be on the railway, I think. Then the railway went away…

There are many places called Hope (I think it’s eleven) but Hope under Dinmore was the one I always wondered about.

I live 4 miles from a village called Hope.

There is a sign in the next village, Caergwrlr, which says "Abondon Hope all ye who enter here.

The local cemetry is in Cargwrle, the statemebt “Live in Hope, die in Carrgrwrle” is often used.
