Maps of Britain: Map of Dorchester
See a map of Dorchester and Shaftesbury in the South West of England.
Dorchester is the county town of Dorset and is forever associated with author Thomas Hardy, one of the greats of English literature.
Born in the town and buried in one of its churches, Hardy's world can best be understood by a visit to this charming town of only around 20,000 inhabitants. Thomas Hardy fans flock to Dorchester every year to see his world, pay homage to his life and his imaginative works.
Places to see in and around Dorchester located on the map include Borough Gardens, Hardy's Cottage in Higher Bockhampton, the author's birthplace and Max Gate, where Hardy lived after he became famous, In addition, the churchyard in Stinsford is where Hardy's heart is buried in a grave next to his first wife.
Other places on the map include the Iron Age fort of Maiden Castle (one of the largest in Europe) and a number of places to stay in Dorchester. These include the Beggar's Knap, the Wessex Royal Hotel, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Old Ship Inn.
