Walk Dorset
Long Distance Trails

With no  fewer than 45 long distance paths running through the county, there are plenty of trails to choose to walk in Dorset and below are our two favourites as well as our own trail, taking in the very best bits of the county in one long walk.  All long-distance walks can be broken down into shorter breaks of as many days as you would like.  Prices shown on this page are for the full route and include accommodation, breakfasts and transfers during your stay. Pricing for shorter breaks taking in part of the route, can be found in the walk's individual page by clicking through to find out more.

Walking Holidays

With our one centre holidays, you stay in the same hotel or inn for the duration and we transport you to the start of your walk every day and then meet you again at the end.  Below you will find a collection covering different aspects of the county or you can pick any walks from our day walk collection to make up your own holiday.  Just speak to one of our helpful team members who will be happy to talk through your options.
