Walking Holidays and Private Tours
Dorset Escapes
For many years Dorset was known as the forgotten county, with no motorways, no cities and bypassed by the main routes to the tourist hotspots of Devon and Cornwall, the county was able to retain its own unique personality. World Heritage status for the coast has put us on the map but there are also many wonderfully unspoilt, quiet places to visit if you know where to look. And we do, so let us introduce you to some of our favourite hotels, destinations and eateries.
Prices are based on two people sharing and include private escorted day tours by Mercedes E-Class car with a knowledgeable local guide, accommodation at a comfortable inn, hotel or guesthouse and all entrance fees.
