Dorset Tourist Attractions - Athelhampton House
Athelhampton House is one of the finest 15th Century Houses in England. This Dorset attraction has an abundance of history both architectural and cultural. Thomas Hardy's father, a builder, was involved in restoration works to the Great Hall and West Wing roofs in the 19th Century. It was during these times that Thomas Hardy himself first visited Athelhampton. Visit the website to find out more.
