Walking Holidays and Private Tours

This long-distance inn-to-inn walk was named by The Telegraph as one of the top ten in their "Best UK walking holidays for 2026" and showcases what we consider to be the best walking that Dorset has to offer. We have designed the route to follow ancient ridgeway tracks, visiting the best Iron Age hillforts, peaceful valleys and chalk downlands, rich with wild flowers and butterflies. The best of the best!

This trail covers the length of the Dorset's Jurassic Coast, the only natural UNESCO World Heritage site in Britain. Walking from Studland in the east to Lyme Regis in the west, expect stiff climbs, spectacular scenery, quiet coves and bustling seaside towns.

A weekend walking break, staying at the wonderful New Inn in Cerne Abbas, set in a peaceful valley amongst the chalk downlands of central Dorset. Visit the mighty Cerne Giant and the spiritual Silver Well as well as ranging further afield over flower-filled hillsides with larks singing overhead. The perfect Spring break.

A three day walking break, staying in the historic King's Arms in Dorchester where Hardy wrote much of The Mayor of Casterbridge. The perfect base to explore his homes and ramble around the countryside which informed his writing.

Spend a weekend in a cosy inn with fabulous food and work up an appetite walking the quiet paths and byways of the county. Away from the tourist trail you'll find quiet picturesque villages, ancient ridgeway tracks and abundant wild flowers.

A seven night, one-centre holiday (you don't move accommodation every day) showcasing the best walking in the county, taking in the iconic Jurassic Coast, iron age hillforts, peaceful valleys and high chalk downlands.

A weekend taking in the best bits of the county for walking, including the Jurassic Coast, the Purbeck ridgeways and the Rude Man of Cerne carved into the chalk downlands above the village which bears his name.

A week of walks which all take in some of the coast but also venture further inland to visit some interesting and quieter parts of Dorset.

A series of six fairly easy day walks exploring the Dorset of Thomas Hardy and taking in some of the places which inspired his works. Each day you will visit the setting for a different novel as well as visiting Hardy's homes and the quiet church where his heart lies buried.

This trail covers the length of the Dorset's Jurassic Coast, the only natural UNESCO World Heritage site in Britain. Walking from West to East, this route is the final leg of the South West Coast Path. The same as our Jurassic trail, but the other way round! Expect stiff climbs, spectacular scenery, quiet coves and bustling seaside towns.

Spend a week exploring some of the stranger bits of the county including an abandoned village, The Rude Man of Cerne, Hell Lane and The Hell Stone, an island where you can't mention rabbits and a rock thrown by the devil himself.
