点评:Not the easiest place to get to ( thank God for sat nav! ) Also easy to drive past - look for the little car park on the left and big house on the right - his neighbours) Positioned in lovely heathland at the top of the road. A Beautiful spot to live. The gorse is out as is the pink heather ( Late August,.) At the cottage look up the hill to the sky - this is where the name came from – ‘Clouds Hill.’
The guides are excellent. There's a little ‘check in’ hut that sells books etc. A little further is the cottage and a small garage where he kept his motor bike.
The cottage is very well maintained, quirky and small ( 2 up / 2 down) with very low ceilings but it is very atmospheric. Just down the road is the accident site, in fact, there are two of them - from the first in the RH corner of the car park, take the little track that runs back towards the cottage through the woods. and you'll find a more accurate one positioned below the road. He was killed less than a minute from home!
You can then go to his grave at Moreton village - take 3 lefts from Cloud Hill. It's in a 'additional' cemetery ( not at the church) , a minute's walk from the church. There's a cafe next door. His grave is at The back of the cemetery with his friends & neighbours. If you want to see his effigy / sculpture then go on to Wareham church. Everything is very close to hand.
So worth a visit.
This part of Dorset is just amazing. Both of Thomas Hardy's properties , Lawrence's history and 'Sculptures by the Lake' are all within 10 minutes of each other!
翻译:这不是最容易到达的地方(感谢上帝赐予我们卫星导航!)开车经过也很容易——左边有个小停车场,右边有个大房子——是他邻居的房子)位于路尽头美丽的荒地上。一个美丽的居住地。金雀花和粉红色的石南花都盛开着(八月下旬)。在小屋里,抬头望向天空——这就是它名字的由来——“云山”。
导游非常棒。有一个小小的“登记入住”小屋,里面卖书等。再往前走一点就是小屋和一个小车库,他把摩托车停在那里。
小屋维护得很好,古怪而小巧(上 2 层/下 2 层),天花板很低,但很有气氛。沿着路往下走就是事故现场,事实上,有两个事故现场——从停车场右角的第一个出发,沿着穿过树林回到小屋的小路走,你会发现一个更准确的事故现场位于路下。他被杀的地方离家不到一分钟!
然后你可以去莫顿村的他的坟墓——从云丘左转三次。它在一个“附加”墓地里(不在教堂里),离教堂步行一分钟。隔壁有一家咖啡馆。他的坟墓在墓地后面,和他的朋友和邻居们埋在一起。如果你想看他的肖像/雕塑,那就去韦尔汉姆教堂吧。一切都近在咫尺。
非常值得一游。
多塞特郡的这片区域真是太棒了。托马斯·哈代的两处房产、劳伦斯的历史和“湖边雕塑”都在10分钟的路程之内!
