 D H Lawrence Full Day Tour  Meet your guide in Nottingham and after a stop for morning refreshments, take in the sights of the old University of Nottingham and Nottingham High School where Lawrence received his education. Your coach will then retrace Lawrence’s daily journey from Nottingham to his home in Eastwood. Here you will see how his hometown shaped and created his often-controversial works. On your walking tour around Eastwood, you will see the novelist’s birthplace which today is a museum complete with a display of watercolours painted by Lawrence. You can also see other houses that Lawrence lived in and view his school and the public houses frequented by his contemporaries along with the actual locations that inspired his many works. Following your walking tour you will take lunch at the Durban House Heritage Centre and view the exhibition of his life and times. You will then travel to Vine Cottage, near the site of Brinsley Colliery, the home of Lawrence’s Aunt Polly. Passing by Moorgreen Reservoir, surrounded by hills and trees and retaining its charm, you will understand why Lawrence used this setting as a basis for Nethermere in the ‘White Peacock’ and Willey Water in ‘Women in Love’. Other places of interest on the tour include Greasley Church the setting for Minton Church in ‘Sons and Lovers’. Of medieval origin, with a 15th Century tower the church is set on a prominent tree covered site. At Eastwood Cemetery you will find the Lawrence family grave, the resting place of Lawrence’s mother, father and brother Ernest. Here your guide will say goodbye and bid you a safe journey home.
