It was here where Tess confessed her loss of virginity and subsequent child with Alex d'Urberville and where Angel rejected her to go to Brazil. It is called Wellbridge in the novel

The Ghost village of Tyneham,Dorset. A compulsory purchase order was placed on the village by the MOD (Ministry of Defence) in 1943, as it was required for troop training for the future Normandy landings. All villagers were moved out, but never to return, as the MOD holds it to this day. #Ontheroad
