Heritage & Garden tours
Our heritage and garden tours are short breaks designed for those who would like to visit some beautiful and interesting sites in Dorset, but who may not wish to walk long distances in the process. Please see our calendar for dates.
Indeed, our Thomas Hardy and Dorset Gardens tours are ideal if you are a group of friends or a family with different individual levels of aptitude or enthusiasm for walking, but looking for a holiday together. Whilst some of you may want to walk as much as possible, others can opt to be driven to most sites in our vehicle.
Each tour is informal, flexible and normally for up to 7 people in total.
Thomas Hardy Tour
- An accompanied tour or a self-guided walk or a little of both
- A fixed date holiday of 3 nights

Dorset Gardens Tour

We have scheduled our Thomas Hardy & Dorset Gardens tours so that they can be combined to make a memorable 5-night holiday (see our calendar).
All our small group tours offer:
- The local presence or accompaniment of the owner-manager who will ensure that you have a hassle-free holiday from the moment you arrive until your departure
- A choice of accommodation in an attractive village or town in Dorset, UK
- A personalised approach geared to each person’s wishes
- A full English breakfast every day (or continental, if you prefer)
- A discount of 10% for groups of 3 or more people.
We would like to express our appreciation to you for organising what must rank as one of our most enjoyable holidays... It was a wonderfull experience and totally relaxing.”
