Footscape, Cerne Abbas, Dorset

"The attention & service you provided were nothing less than superb. I shall recommend Footscape most highly to those seeking a memorable, worry-free holiday in one of England's most beautiful & unspoilt areas.”

Exclusive heritage tours and walking holidays in timeless Thomas Hardy country.

On our three small group heritage tours you can walk in the footsteps of Thomas Hardy, visit some of Dorset’s most beautiful gardens or see the castles of Sir Walter Raleigh in the beautiful town of Sherborne. For hikers, our walking holidays are rich in folklore, history and stunning landscapes.

Since our office is located in Dorset, we are able to provide a very personalised service ensuring a hassle-free experience from the moment you arrive until your departure. Whatever type of walking holiday or tour interests you (fully independent, semi-independent or guided), we have various options to offer you. Our walking holidays, whether coastal or inland, take you through gorgeous countryide and villages, steeped in history, local legends and oddball personalities from the past.

Our Thomas Hardy tour - for walkers or non-walkers - goes to places that are closely associated with the life of Thomas Hardy, as well as with his famous friend, T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia). Our Garden tour visits four of Dorset’s most beautiful gardens, with some delightful short walks in between. Our Sherborne tour includes two castles, an Abbey, a haunted Tudor manor house and an iron-age hill fort believed by many to be the site of King Arthur’s Camelot.
