Here is a Slide Show of England.
Slideshow of pictures, photos, and videos, from webshots
We were in England several years ago and my wife won this trip for 2. It included round trip air for 2 and the use of a 5 bedroom house in Marnhull. The last 5 pictures are pictures of the house we stayed in and the The Crown and the Church and graveyard in "Tess of the D’Urbervilles."
Marnhull is in Thomas Hardy country.

The Crown at Marnhull features in Thomas Hardy’s most successful novel Tess of the D’Urbervilles as the Pure Drop inn. This is where Tess’s father invites parson Tringham for a quart of beer: “There’s a pretty brew in tap at The Pure Drop but not so good as at Rollivers.” The latter was an off licence, selling beer brewed at the village brewery in Carraway Lane. “Marlott” as Hardy calls Marnhull, “lies in the beautiful Blackmoor Vale, a fertile and sheltered tract of country in which the fields are never brown and the springs never dry.”
