A touch of culture
Thomas Hardy designed and built Max Gate, a short walk from the town centre, and lived in the house for 43 years, writing Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Jude the Obscure and The Mayor of Casterbridge here. There are some mementos in the dining room and drawing room - his original study has been rebuilt at the Dorset County Museum.
