New Garden Maps for International Visitors at Athelhampton

With cruises, tours, and independent travellers, the many international visitors at Athelhampton make up a significant proportion of our guests, exploring the house and gardens. While many are able to speak English in addition to their native tongue, there are certain nuances of language that make it worth everyone's while to have our visitor interpretation translated.

Our short films, one about Thomas Hardy and his connections to Athelhampton, and the other about the many ghosts that haunt the hall have both received professional translations, followed by our garden maps.


Five garden maps laid out so that the "Garden Map" title can be seen in five different languages

These will be followed very shortly by our House Tour books, offered in the same set of languages, to help our international visitors at Athelhampton explore the house in more detail.
