I'll cover the tank museum at a later date. However, if you go down King George V road, at the end of Bovington Camp, you'll find a car park and viewing place. As well as being an excellent spot from which to watch armoured vehicles coming over the top of what almost amounts to a small mountain, it is here that you will find a memorial stone to T.E. Lawrence (of Arabia).
In the corner of the car park, there is a marked footpath. Walk a little way down here, and there is another marker, this time marking a spot close to where he died, when he crashed his Brough Superior motorcycle.
In fact, he was returning to his home at Clouds Hill from Bovington Camp, when he clipped the back of a push bike and was thrown from his motorcycle, sustaining fatal head injuries. Clouds Hill is only a little further down, at the end of King George V Road.
