Garden at Max Gate
Thomas Hardy's house on the edge of Dorchester is surrounded by trees and garden just like the cottage not far away where he spent his early years.
The guide book says he especially liked the trees and wouldn't let his gardener cut them back.

Gardens at Max Gate
Author and poet Thomas Hardy designed and lived in Max Gate from 1885 until his death in 1928. He lived there with his first wife Emma Gifford, and then with his second wife Florence Dugdale. He wrote Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Jude the Obscure and The Mayor of Casterbridge, as well as much of his poetry at Max Gate.
The house was left to the National Trust in 1940, by Hardy's sister Kate. The house contains a few pieces of Hardy's furniture; most had been disposed of after his death, although his study has been relocated to the Dorset County Museum in Dorchester.

Max Gate, Alington Avenue, Dorchester
Grade I listed house. It was designed and built by Thomas Hardy for his own use in 1885 and he lived there until his death in 1928. In 1940 it was bequeathed to the National Trust by Hardy's sister with the stipulation that it should be lived in. It was first opened to the public in 1994 with restricted access and limited opening times for a few days a week due to the occupation by private tenants. In 2011 a National Trust volunteer took up residence allowing access five days a week and now it is open most days. Many of the Austrian pines which Hardy planted against the winds of the nearby heath and the prying eyes were cut down by the second Mrs Hardy in the interval between his death and hers nine years later.
