Book description
Enchanting villages in the lush, rolling landscape Thomas Hardy loved, the mystery of stone circles, the elegance of Bath and the mellow, cathedral town beauty of Salisbury, Winchester and Wells, the drama of Cheddar Gorge and glorious coasts… This is Wessex, King Alfred’s domain and England at its best. Covering Dorset, Wiltshire, Avon and the greater part of Somerset, this book explores the age-old Wessex heritage, with essential information on the Thomas Hardy connection, full details of towns, villages, historic houses and attractions, and walks and drives to bring this lovely English heartland closer, with the guidance of large-scale Ordnance Survey maps.
