I could not solve this Blockbusters question from 1984 and Bob Holness

What EH was a tract of wild Wessex land made famous by Thomas Hardy?

All I could think of was East Hampshire which is unlikely to be correct.

The correct answer was not given.

Thanks John!

My knowledge of English literature is improving but remains fairly shoddy IMHO.

A knowledge of Gustav Holst is also useful.

It features substantially in the novel "The Return of the Native".
