Footscape’s meticulously researched trails include the spectacular Jurassic Coast - England’s first Natural World Heritage Site.
Other Footscape trails explore Dorset’s unspoilt countryside and villages.
Since we are based in Dorset and operate only in Dorset, we can provide a uniquely specialised service.

Thomas Hardy - A gentle walk or tour of 2 days (3 nights), visiting beautiful landscapes, villages and sites evoking Hardy’s life and works.
Dorset Gardens - A short break of 2 days (3 nights) visiting four exceptional gardens in Dorset.
Sherborne - A 2 night weekend break visiting the historic abbey, castles & museum in Dorset’s finest town.

Footscape can organise a tailor-made walking holiday or tour exclusively for you, whether you are 2 people or 30. We can design it between us, based on your wish list and our local knowledge.
We are also specialists in organising family walking holidays, offering a flexible approach and extra services designed to make the experience fun and rewarding for children.
Ideal for serious hikers, leisure walkers, families, groups, garden enthusiasts, Thomas Hardy buffs, and for those who just want to get away from it all, Footscape offers a hassle-free experience from the day you arrive until your departure.
On many of our walking holidays and tours you can walk as much or as little as you want. So if you are a group of people of different ages or with different levels of enthusiasm or aptitude for hiking, you can still enjoy a Footscape break together.
Dorset is situated on the south coast of England - in the stunning West Country. Its ancient county town, Dorchester, is 2½ hours from London and just over 1 hour from Southampton by car or train - in easy reach for a weekend walking break, an English heritage tour or a longer hiking vacation.
