Bere Regis

If peace and tranquility are on the agenda, head for Bere Regis. Tucked away amidst woodland, ancient heaths and traditional watercress beds, Bere Regis was made famous by Thomas Hardy in his classic story ‘Tess of the d'Urbervilles' (he called it Kingsbere in the novel). Wander through the grounds of the imposing 15th century church and you might be tempted to say that little has changed since Hardy wrote about the village – the noise and rush of the 21st century seems conspicuous in its absence in Bere Regis.

Moreton

This small village is the unlikely final resting place of Lawrence of Arabia. His grave can be found in the churchyard at St Nicholas' Church, which is itself worth a visit for its unique etched-glass windows. Take a stroll around Moreton Gardens and plant centre, or stop for a cream tea at the Tea Rooms in the old school. Moreton also makes a good start for walks in nearby Moreton Forest and along The Dorset Jubilee Trail, an 80-mile trail stretching from Forde Abbey in the west to Bokerley Dyke in the north east.
