This is the view of the Vale of Frome from the bridge at Lower Bockhampton. In the novel, the twenty year old Tess journeys to the lush Froom Valley. It is known as the Vale of the Great Dairies, in comparison to Tess's home, the fertile Vale of Blackmore, which is known as the Vale of Little Dairies. The building through the trees is Kingston Dairy House one of the Great Dairies which Hardy would have known.
