Walking Weekends
Friday & Saturday nights, from £165 per person
West Dorset is one of the most unspoilt parts of the UK, an area small in size but full of amazing contrasts which never fails to delight whatever time of year you visit. It is blessed with a combination of spectacular landscapes, a rich history and delicious local produce. On this walking weekend, we will ensure you get a true taste of all that this special place has to offer.
Join Martin Gershon from local tour company Marshwood Trails and discover a part of the country you will want to return to time and time again. Martin will provide a full day's guiding to one of the best bits of West Dorset. Weymouth lies at the heart of the Jurassic Coast, a world heritage designated site and some of the most spectacular parts of the South West Coast Path can be reached easily from here. Possible walking destinations include Portland, a place which even today retains an atmosphere and identity all of its own, and the location of the sailing events at the 2012 Olympic Games, or historical Abbotsbury, with its famous swannery and sub-tropical gardens.
As well as stunning views and fascinating historical insights, there will be plenty of opportunities during the weekend to enjoy Dorset food and drink, whether it's a cream tea, a local ale, or a full Dorset experience supper.
