#1 "Dorset Shepherd's Hut":

This is a contemporary example of the shepherd's hut Gabriel Oak uses in Chapters 2 and 3. In a structure like this one he nearly suffocates until rescued by Bathsheba Everdene.


 

#2 "Lulworth Cove":

Here is the cove where Sergeant Troy took his ill-fated swim: "Inside the cove the water was ... smooth as a pond, and to get a little of the ocean swell Troy presently swam between the two projecting spurs of rock which formed the pillars of Hercules to this miniature Mediterranean." (Chapter XLVII).
