The Hand of Ethelberta WALK

This town-based walk will explore the literary connections of Wareham (Hardy’s Anglebury), which sits at the entrance to the Isle of Purbeck on the meandering rivers Frome and Piddle. The sites linked to Hardy’s ‘Desperate Remedies’ and ‘The Hand of Ethelberta’ will be located, and a visit made to the ancient church of St Martin’s to see the life-sized effigy of T. E. Lawrence. The turbulent history of the town will also be explored, including a walk around the Saxon walls. Refreshments and public toilets are available in the town. Only assistance dogs please due to the urban nature of the walk. Please wear sturdy footwear and waterproofs and/or sunhat depending on what the weather dictates!
