Hardy's Cottage second-hand bookshop

Take a moment to enjoy our wonderful selection of second-hand books available whilst at the Cottage. You are welcome to sit and enjoy your book in one of the peaceful spots in the garden or orchard. You may even see Marsh Tit or Nuthatch on the feeders, or a deer among the apple trees. A book also makes a lovely gift or reminder of your day.
All funds raised support conservation work and projects at Hardy’s Cottage.

A selection of vintage books is also available for sale in the kiosk – please ask to see a list.

Please also let us know if you have any books you would like to donate by emailing: hardyscottage@nationaltrust.org.uk. We especially welcome books which are linked to Thomas Hardy, T E Lawrence, gardens, local history, wildlife and conservation.
