Fodor's Expert Review Clouds Hill

This brick-and-tile cottage served as the retreat of T. E. Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia, before he was killed in a motorcycle accident on the road from Bovington in 1935. The house remains very much as he left it, with photos and memorabilia from his time in the Middle East. It's particularly atmospheric on a gloomy day, as there's no electric light. Clouds Hill is 8 miles northwest of Corfe. Admission is by pre-booked guided tour only.
