Overview

Come along to this beautiful woodland walk in and around Thomas Hardy's birthplace. 

There are toilets at the visitor centre and a cafe afterwards. The views are fantastic as is the evocative Eggardon Heath of Hardy's novels. Although this is a walk and we dont stop too much for sightseeing, you wont be disappointed by the sheer quality of the nature and literally connections around you.
