Clouds Hill, House museum in Dorset, England
The cottage features three main rooms: an eating area with aluminum-lined walls, a book room, and an upstairs space dedicated to music appreciation.
T.E. Lawrence, known for his military service in Arabia, purchased this isolated cottage in 1925 while stationed at the nearby Bovington Tank Corps.
The interior displays Lawrence's personal items, including his collection of books, military artifacts, and correspondence with notable writers of his time.
The National Trust maintains the property with seasonal opening hours from March to October, offering guided tours between 12:00 and 17:00 daily.
The entrance bears a Greek inscription 'Why Worry', reflecting Lawrence's desire to create a refuge from public attention after his military service.
