Dorchester is the county town of Dorset, England. Dorchester is situated between Poole and Bridport on the A35 trunk route. A historic market town, Dorchester is on the banks of the River Frome to the south of the Dorset Downs and north of the South Dorset Ridgeway that separates the area from Weymouth, 7 miles (11 km) to the south.
The area around Dorchester was first settled in prehistoric times. The Romans established a garrison there after defeating the Durotriges tribe, calling the settlement that grew up nearby Durnovaria; they built an aqueduct to supply water and an amphitheatre on an ancient British earthwork. After the departure of the Romans, Dorchester diminished in significance, but during the medieval period became an important commercial and political centre. It was the site of the Bloody Assizes presided over by Judge Jeffreys after the Monmouth Rebellion, and later the trial of the Tolpuddle Martyrs.
The Brewery Square redevelopment project is taking place in phases, with other development projects planned. The town has a land-based college, Kingston Maurward College, the Thomas Hardye Upper School, three middle schools and thirteen first schools. The Dorset County Hospital offers an accident and emergency service, and the town is served by two railway stations. Through vehicular traffic is routed round the town by means of a bypass. The town has a football club and a rugby union club, several museums and the biannual Dorchester Festival. It is twinned with three towns in Europe. As well as having many listed buildings, a number of notable people have been associated with the town. It was for many years the home and inspiration of the author Thomas Hardy, whose novel The Mayor of Casterbridge uses a fictionalised version of Dorchester as its setting.
Dorchester town centre is sited about 55 to 80 metres (180 to 262 ft) above sea-level on gently sloping ground beside the south bank of the River Frome. Measured directly, it is about 7 miles (11 km) north of Weymouth, 18 miles (29 km) SSE of Yeovil in Somerset, and 20 miles (32 km) west of Poole.
The town has two railway stations. Dorchester South is on the South Western Main Line to Bournemouth, Southampton and London is operated by South West Trains; Dorchester West, designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, is on the Heart of Wessex Line, operated by GWR and connects with Yeovil, Bath and Bristol. As part of the regeneration at the Brewery Site in the town centre, Dorchester South railway station will become the first solar powered railway station in the UK.

Andy's National Trust Travel Blogs: Max Gate, home of Thomas Hardy
Max Gate, an austere but sophisticated town house a short walk from the town centre of Dorchester, was the home of Dorset's most famous author and poet Thomas Hardy. Hardy, who designed the house in 1885, wanted to show that he was part of the wealthy middle classes of the area, to reflect his position as a successful writer, and to enable him to enter polite society. The house was named after a nearby tollgate keeper called Mack.
Many of Hardy's possessions were dispersed before the Trust acquired the house, but we've furnished the rooms for you to enjoy the spaces he created to write and live in. He wrote some of his most famous novels here, including Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure, as well as much of his poetry.
You will find the garden much as it was originally planned, with high walls and large trees encircling the property to preserve Hardy's privacy. The sundial, designed by Hardy, was erected in his memory.

영국의 또 다른 대표 작가를 만나러 가는 길이다. 시인이자 소설가인 토마스 하디. 그는 1840년 도체스터 근방 시골마을에서 태어났다. 하디의 시골 오두막집 팻말을 보고서 또 한참을 걸어야 했다. 초가지붕의 오두막집 생가는 문학도들의 발길이 가장 숙연하게 닿는 곳이기도 하다. 그의 소설 ‘푸른 숲 그늘 아래서’에 묘사된 대로 보존되어 1948년부터 기념관으로 공개되고 있다. 집 안팎으로 가득히 풍기는 문학적 운치는 셰익스피어의 생가보다도 더 매력적이다. 하디의 생가는 영국의 문화재 중에서도 가장 작은 것 중의 하나이지만 가장 중요한 유산이기도 하다. 그의 기념관엔 생전에 그가 즐겨 쓰던 유품들이 꼼꼼히 보관되어 있다. 그는 이 초가집에서 문학 활동을 시작했고 2층엔 창작실과 여동생의 침실이 있다. 기념관에 전시된 한글판 ‘귀향’ ‘테스’가 눈길을 끈다. ‘테스’ 1891년 출간, 센세이셔널한 반응을 일으키며 많은 이들의 사랑을 받은 작품이다. 당대의 불합리한 인습과 편견으로 인해 상처를 입고 결국 완전히 쓰러지고 마는 테스의 비극적인 인생을 그려내 보수적 비평가들로부터 비난을 받기도 했다. “그는 영국 문학에 큰 영향을 끼쳤고. 그는 시대를 앞서갔고, 체제에 도전했습니다. 그는 워낙 초라한 배경에서 자라서 유명해졌기 때문입니다. 이후 텔레비전에 나오면서 더 많은 인기를 끌었습니다.”

The Birthplace of Thomas Hardy
May I encourage you to visit the birthplace of the much loved author and poet, Thomas Hardy?
It's sometimes asked, What did Thomas Hardy write? It was my delight to discover that Thomas Hardy was not only born here, he lived here long enough to write, Under The Greenwood Tree, and my favourite, Far From The Madding Crowd.
The book's title is liked to have come from Thomas Gray's poem - Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard. (1751)
'Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife,
Their sober wishes never learn'd to stray;
Along the cool sequester'd vale of life
They kept the noiseless tenor of their way.'
'Madding' means 'behaving madly' or 'frenzied' - and this cottage, its gardens, and the walk through Thorncombe Wood to the cottage is indeed far from the madding crowd. Interestingly, I chose not to use the audio from the woods, however, because the birdsong was overlaid upon the madding noise of the local roads.

Higher Bockhampton, near Dorchester, Dorset, DT2 8QJ

We really enjoyed the Visitor Centre and Café too. There's plenty to do for the whole family. On our visit, the specials on the menu included homemade Smoked Mackerel Pâté, and Smoked Haddock and Cheese Fishcakes. We were very happy with our meal.
I'd give yourself a morning or an afternoon to visit. Nearby is Stinsford Church - St Michael's - strongly associated with the Hardy family - including a dedicated stained glass window, stone carving, and the family graves.
Our habit is to visit Hardy's Cottage first, then have some lunch at the Visitor Centre, and then travel on to St Michael's. We finish up our day at Max Gate where my chief delight is to sit at a desk similar to one Hardy would have written at, look out of the window of his study, and then, inspired, to write a poem.
Watch out for further videos celebrating the Hardy Trail.
