British Cosy Hours

Down the line

Wychwold is a made-up county inside real Britain, in the middle of the last century. One single-track railway runs through it, from Hollowmere Halt to the sea at Wrenmouth, by way of Wenbourne and Thornleigh. Each place on it has a room to sit in and a sound of its own.
