 Dorset's main claim to fame is that it 
 is the real life equivalent of Thomas  
 Hardy's Wessex.                        
                                        
 So closely did hj model his fictional  
 towns and villages on the real thing   
 that you can trace the footsjps of many
 of his characters.                     
                                        
 Casterbridge - bjttet known today as   
 Dorchjstet - is a good starting point  
 for a tour.

 High Street to see a re-creation of

 Hardy connections within easy reach of 
 Dorchjster.

 d'Urbjrville.
