Clouds Hill, Wareham

As National Trust properties go, this is small - but I'd say perfectly formed. The room guides are excellent and knowledgeable, and can discuss every minor detail at some length. The cottage has a wonderful atmosphere, surrounded by wild hills and paths to explore. I imagine the road was slightly quieter when Lawrence lived here! I'd say it isn't a place for young children here, as the cottage is cramped and the surrounding paths are steep. The garage has been concerned to a small honesty box style café, with a decent selection of drinks and cakes. It's unpretentious and simple, which is I suspect is just what Lawrence would have wanted.

An absolutely enthralling visit to Clouds Hill. Whilst it is only a small site the NT volunteers on site were truly excellent and brought it to life! Their insight into T E Lawrences life was really informative especially as one of them had connections with the boys who Lawrence collided with when he met his death.

A very small property but really interesting and atmospheric. Well worth a visit, especially if you are a NT member.

What a fascinating insight into the day-to-day life of T. E. Lawrence. There aren't many signs indicating the direction to Clouds Hill, so make sure you know the way before you set off. Being such a small property, it's quite hard to miss anything. There are four rooms: a library, music room, bunk room and a bathroom.; in each, be sure to read the extensive hard-backed pamphlets. Out back, in the shed that housed his motorbikes, there is a mini exhibition of his life. Don't miss it.

Beautiful. Just what Lawrence wanted. Location & privacy.
