Friday 2nd August
Wareham (Anglebury) (Desperate Remedies & The Hand of Ethelberta) – Lucy Boyle Brown.
Meet at Dorchester South Railway Station at 13.15 to take the 13.33 train. This town-based walk will explore the literary connections of Wareham, which sits at the entrance to the Isle of Purbeck on the meandering rivers Frame and Piddle. The sites linked to Hardy's novels will be located, and a visit made to the ancient church of St Martin's to see the life-sized effigy of T. E. Lawrence. The turbulent history of the town will also be explored, including a walk around the Saxon walls. Refreshments and public toilets are available in the town. Only assistance dogs please due to the urban nature of the walk. Please wear sturdy footwear and waterproofs and/or sunhat depending on what the weather dictates! Estimated return is the 17.30 from Wareham arriving back in Dorchester at 17.50. Cost: £18.00 (Train fare included).
