International Hardy Fans Tour

International Hardy Fans Tour
July 25, 2018

Keri Jones went on a walking tour that guided many international visitors around Shaftesbury and, surprisingly, our world-famous Gold Hill wasnt on the itinerary!

On a warm Friday afternoon in July, fifty people stepped off a coach that pulled up into the Bell Street car park. The group had travelled together with the Thomas Hardy Society from Dorchester to see some of the places featured in the Shaston of Thomas Hardys, Jude The Obscure, first published in 1894.
