Thomas Hardy Trail

In old age Thomas Hardy reflected that it was "better for a writer to know a little bit of the world remarkably well than to know a great part of the world remarkably little".

Dorset was Thomas Hardy's little bit of the world; he lived in the county for most of his life and it was the catalyst for much of his written work.

This App guides you around South Wessex and allows you to discover, explore or plan a tour of Thomas Hardy's birthplace and inspiration.
