Behind The Garden Gate

Named in The Telegraph's "Best UK Walking Holidays for 2026" 

What is it that makes Dorset so special?  Maybe it is the things it doesn't have which sets it apart.  No motorways, no cities, no need to hurry.  It's a place where you can stop and feel the earth beneath your feet and the wind in your hair.  With sandy beaches, quiet pebbled coves, hidden valleys, chalk downlands and lush river meadows to feed your soul.  Come and see our famous Jurassic Coast but also let us take you on the road less travelled, to the quieter, lesser known places and show you the real Dorset.  We can walk you through the most unspoilt countryside and take you on private tours to peaceful gardens, picturesque villages and historic sites, and introduce you to our favourite local food and drink producers.  Choose from our selection of self-guided Dorset walking holidays, luxury garden and heritage tours or Dorset day tours, or mix and match to create your own unique Dorset experience.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

This was easily the best organised walking holiday I have experienced over many years. Dorset is delightful and the coast walk is stunning with so many points of interest. I cannot recommend this experience enough... amazing walks, great food and accommodation, brilliant organisation. Well done indeed!
