Find out about T.E. Lawrence
Enjoy a
walk away from the coast along idyllic country lanes and through
leafy woodland. The six mile trail starts and finishes at
Bovington’s renowned Tank Museum taking in Lawrence of
Arabia’s home at Clouds Hill and the cemetery at Moreton where
he is buried.
A leaflet details the trail, which can be walked in 4 sections and
gives a fascinating insight into Lawrence’s life. It is available
from Swanage or Wareham Tourist Information Centres,
Swanage Museum and Heritage Centre, Moreton Tea Rooms, the Tank
Museum and Clouds Hill (now owned by the National Trust). The
leaflet is also available to download below.
Why not be a 'green' visitor and arrive by train. Wool Station
is on the mainline to London Waterloo with a new half hourly
service. You can then walk or cycle just under 2 miles to the Tank
Museum (bike racks available) using a joint foot/cycle path. See
the leaflet for the route.
