Explore the Villages around Hartbridge

Many visitors come to Hartbridge to see the wonderful art galleries and museums, the beautiful
buildings and the fantastic parks. Few people go outside the city, and so they miss out on
experiencing the scenery and the fascinating history of this beautiful area. This brochure will tell
you what you can see if you take a short bus ride out of the city.
Camberwell
The historic village of Camberwell was once the home of the wealthy Hugo family. They lived
in a huge country house, Camberwell Court, and owned all the land in the area. The family sold
their house in the 1940s, and it is now open to the public. You can spend a whole day walking
around the house and gardens. There is a small exhibition about the family, a children’s play
area, a gift shop and a restaurant. But the village of Camberwell is also worth a visit. There are
some beautiful cottages with well kept gardens, and there is a small church which dates back to
the eleventh century. To get to Camberwell, take Bus 46 from the Bus station. Buses leave every
two hours.
Hidcot
Hidcot is an attractive village situated on the River Owell. Wildlife lovers should visit the Nature
Park to the south of the village, where there are large numbers of rare birds and flowers.
However, you will probably see plenty of wildlife from the bridge in the village centre! In
Hidcot, you can take a two-hour river cruise - a great way to see the countryside and learn about
the local wildlife from a guide. If you prefer to explore the river by yourself, it’s well worth
walking one and a half miles along the river to the pub ‘The Boat’ which cannot be reached by
road. Here, you can hire small boats and explore the river at your leisure. To get to Hidcot, take
Bus 7A to Reeford. Hidcot is half way between Hartbridge and Reeford.
Tatterbridge
The beautiful village of Tatterbridge was home to the children’s writer Jane Potter, whose stories
of Benjamin Bear are loved by adults and children around the world. Jane Potter’s home is now a
museum and tea shop, and is well worth a visit just for its wonderful gardens. It also has a gift
shop where you can buy souvenirs and books. Tatterbridge has a number of interesting shops
including an excellent cake shop, and ‘Wendy’s Giftshop’ where you can find lots of unusual
gifts made by hand by local artists. Lovers of Jane Potter’s books should also walk to the Green
Valley woods, which have not changed since Jane Potter wrote her stories there one hundred
years ago. To get to Tatterbridge, take Bus 4 from outside the cinema. It takes about 40 minutes
to get there.
Moordale
This old industrial village is the highest village in the area. Here in the hills, coal was found in
the late eighteenth century, and people came here in great numbers to take it out of the ground
and transport it to the nearby towns. Many industries grew up in the area, including a paper
factory and a cotton factory. The industries all closed down in the nineteenth century, and since
then Moordale has gone back to being a quiet farming village. However, if you walk from the
village centre up the steep hill to the north, you can still see the paths where horses used to carry
the coal. There is a four mile walk around the village which has some amazing views, but
walkers are must be careful as the path is steep in places and they could slip. To get to Moordale,
take Bus 7A to Reeford, and then take the number 38 bus to Moordale.
