Max Gate

Parada: 1 h 30 min - entrada não incluída

Parada no itinerário em Max Gate em viagem particular de um dia a partir de City of Bath

Max Gate is the name of the modest Victorian home that Thomas Hardy designed and built in Dorchester. He lived here until his death in 1928, and it's where he wrote many of his most famous works. Visitors can appreciate the intimate Victorian atmosphere and view many of Hardy’s personal items, including manuscripts and other memorabilia. The on-site exhibit offers more information about the writer’s life and work. The site is operated by the National Trust and is only accessible from March through October, so visitors should verify opening times before visiting: nationaltrust.org.uk

Cerne Abbas

Parada no itinerário em Cerne Abbas em viagem particular de um dia a partir de City of Bath

Visitors to Cerne Abbas are greeted with a timeless English village in the stunning countryside mentioned in Thomas Hardy’s work. The most distinctive feature of the village is the “Cerne Abbas Giant,” a massive chalk figure carved into the hillside. Visitors can stroll through the village and see the ruins of a 10th-century Benedictine abbey, an array of traditional stone colleges, and take a short walk to the Giant viewpoint. This site immerses travelers in Hardy’s Wessex.

Parada no itinerário em Lulworth Cove em viagem particular de um dia a partir de City of Bath

Lulworth Cove, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a horseshoe-shaped cove featured in Hardy’s “The Well-Beloved.” The sheer natural beauty of this place is due to its almost perfectly circular bay, created through coastal erosion. Visitors can follow the Southwest Coast Path to enjoy stunning views of the beaches below and Durdle Door, a natural limestone arch, or head to the visitor center to learn more about the place’s geology and local history.

Amazing driver experience

Our driver, Ibrahim, was wonderful. He drove us from Amman airport to Petra. Our flight was one hour early and he was already waiting for us when we got to the exit of the airport. He was helpful, professional and friendly. We would definitely love to have Ibrahim again and highly recommend him!

Awesome experience! Highly recommend!

So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.

Touring through Tuscany

We had the same driver for our 2 day trip in tuscany. I was able to develop my own itinerary so I could go where we wanted and see the things we wanted. Marco was fantastic!! He opened doors for us and made sure my mother was able to get in and out of the car easily. He had water in the car for us. He was early picking us up both days and brought us as close to the towns as he could. He told us which way to go to enter the cities and then sent me his location so we knew how to get back to him after traveling the streets. Im so happy I decided to get a driver to take us through Tuscany. It took all the worry and anxiety of driving through this region I had never been to and didnt know where to park. Money well spent!

Great transfer option.

I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.

It was a fantastic trip.

We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.

Best transport company anywhere

We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.

Excellent experience in traveling

We traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortable

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.

Daytrip never disappoints

We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.

Great driver in Egypt

Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.

Know more about your day trip

No, Lulworth Cove doesn't have a salt mine. The site features spectacular coastal geology with limestone cliffs and the famous natural arch at Durdle Door. You can explore the visitor center to learn about the geological formations and the area's fascinating erosion processes that created this unique landscape.

Meals are not included in the trip price. However, you'll have opportunities to purchase lunch in Cerne Abbas, which has traditional pubs and cafes serving local cuisine. Consider bringing snacks and water for the journey, especially if you have dietary preferences or restrictions.

The round-trip journey takes approximately 8.5 hours, allowing you to explore three key sites at a comfortable pace. You'll spend about 90 minutes at Max Gate discovering Hardy's home, an hour in Cerne Abbas village, and 90 minutes at Lulworth Cove enjoying the UNESCO World Heritage coastline.

This trip involves moderate walking, particularly at Lulworth Cove where paths can be steep and uneven. Max Gate is easily accessible, and Cerne Abbas requires minimal walking through the village. If you have mobility concerns, you can still enjoy most sites, though the coastal paths at Lulworth may be challenging.

Yes, the famous Cerne Abbas Giant chalk figure is one of the highlights of this trip. The massive hillside carving is easily viewed from the village. This ancient figure adds a unique historical element to your Thomas Hardy literary journey.

The best time to visit is from May through October when Max Gate is open to visitors. During these warmer months, you'll enjoy comfortable weather for exploring the Dorset countryside and coastal views at Lulworth Cove. The scenic beauty that inspired Hardy's novels truly comes alive in spring and summer when the landscapes are lush and green.

This journey takes you through the heart of Hardy's Wessex, the fictionalized Dorset he immortalized in his novels. You'll visit his actual home at Max Gate where he wrote many masterpieces, explore the countryside that inspired his settings, and see Lulworth Cove featured in "The Well-Beloved," connecting literature with real landscapes.

Bring comfortable walking shoes as the coastal paths can be uneven, and a light jacket even in summer as coastal winds can be brisk. Don't forget your camera for the stunning views of the horseshoe-shaped cove and Durdle Door limestone arch. Water and sun protection are essential for the coastal walking paths.
