Lancaut Peninsular, Tidenham.

The peninsular is formed by a large 'S' shaped bend in the river Wye. This view is looking SE towards Chepstow. The river passes in front and behind the fields and then flows at the base of the rocky cliffs. There used to be a village called Lancaut here, the village was never large, but in 1306 contained 10 tenant households, and in 1551 had 19 adults. By 1750 the village had only two inhabited houses and in 1848 the parish was recorded as having a mere 16 inhabitants. The civil parish was merged with Tidenham in 1935 and today there is little remaining of the village except for a still-working farm.

Great pic and info Patrick, like the sheer side of the rock. Was through your way last week, over the Severn bridge on the way to Pembroke and then dropped down to Tintern on the way back before stopping at Ross on Wye.

Fascinating view of the cliffs, with excellent and informative narrative. If only all contributors were so diligent with their homework !
