The majority of our English counties possess some special feature, some
particular attraction which acts as a lodestone for tourists, in the form of a
stately cathedral, striking physical beauty, or a wealth of historical or
literary associations. There are large districts of rural England that would
have remained practically unknown to the multitude had it not been for
their possession of some superb architectural creation, or for the fame
bestowed upon the district by the makers of literature and art. The Bard of
Avon was perhaps the unconscious pioneer in the way of providing his
native town and county with a valuable asset of this kind. The novels of
Scott drew thousands of his readers to the North Country, and those of R.
D. Blackmore did the same for the scenes so graphically depicted in Lorna
Doone; while Thomas Hardy is probably responsible for half the number of
tourists who visit Dorset.
