THOMAS
HARDY AND HIS WESSEX
HARDY "LOCATIONS"
- These are believed to be the real locations on which Hardy
based his "ideal" locations.
Click on the pictures
to see them full size, with descriptions and other pictures of the locations.
Or click on the
"map" to get a Multimap
map of the area.
To assist with
searching, I have split the locations out by English county. I have
grouped Oxfordshire and Berkshire together, as many of the locations that are now
in Oxfordshire were, in Hardy's time, in Berkshire.
Oxfordshire &
Berkshire - "North Wessex"
Wiltshire -
"Mid
Wessex"
Hampshire -
"Upper
Wessex"
Dorset - "Mid
Wessex"
Somerset - "Outer
Wessex"
