"This 'small basin of sea enclosed by cliffs' is drawn from Lulworth Cove, situated near Weymouth [i. e., Budmouth Regis in Hardy's Wessex]. In swimming Troy found him,self carried out to sea, 'not a boat within sight, but far in the distance Budmouth lay upon the sea.'"
[These remarks by the anonymous editors often seem to be based on Thomas Hardy's Wessex (1913) by Herman Lea -- PVA].
