Clouds Hill
Clouds Hill is a tiny, austere cottage hidden in the Dorset heathland that served as the private retreat of T. E. Lawrence — Lawrence of Arabia — in the final years of his turbulent life. Austere and intensely personal, the cottage's sparse rooms are filled with relics of his extraordinary existence: gramophone records, books and a sense of hard-won solitude. It is a place that captures the contradictions of one of history's most romantic and restless figures.
