Postcards from Hardy Country
We would like to see your memories of Dorset and your own personal Hardy Trail!
This page has been designed to showcase your memories of Hardy and Dorset. We encourage visitors to Wessex to send us photographs from their trip, together with a paragraph or two detailing where you went, what you saw, and the purpose of your visit. Whether you travelled from overseas to see Max Gate and sit in the study where Hardy wrote Tess of the d'Urbervilles, or if you are a regular visitor to Dorset who loves walking in Hardy's footsteps, we would love you to share your story with us!
Please feel free to send photographs and a description to THS Secretary Tracy Hayes - info@hardysociety.org
