The D.H. Lawrence Trail

Discover the Lawrence legacy

Our new interactive walking trail offers visitors a unique insight into the life of the local writer.

Starting at the D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum, on Victoria Street, the trail takes you on a journey through Lawrence’s youth and early adulthood, encompassing the houses he grew up in and places that had a great impact on his early life, such as the old Mechanics’ Institute and the famous Breach House, setting of one of Lawrence’s most famous works, Sons and Lovers.

Visitors and residents will also be able to delve deeper into the locations on the trail by scanning the QR codes on the information boards. After scanning the QR code, trail users will be taken to a website with exclusive content and videos from Lawrence experts about the respective location, as well as historic images relating to the site.

Free trail maps are available from the D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum, any donations are welcome.
