Footscape offers an exclusive choice of self-guided walking holidays (hiking tours) and short breaks, as well as guided or accompanied heritage and garden tours, in South West England's unspoilt county of Dorset.

Ideal for serious hikers, leisure walkers, seekers of active family holidays, enthusiasts of historic buildings, gardens and Thomas Hardy, 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.

Our meticulously researched trails include the Jurassic Coast - England's only Natural World Heritage site and one of the most spectacular stretches of coastline in the UK. Our other trails and tours take you through the beautiful countryside and villages of Dorset's timeless interior - Thomas Hardy country.

On many of our UK walking holidays and tours you can walk as much or as little as you want. So if you are a family with children or a group of friends with different levels of enthusiasm or aptitude for hiking, you can all enjoy a footscape break together.

Elizabeth Wilson, England
“We thought it was one of the best holidays we have ever had. We realise how incredibly lucky we were to have not only the best weather of the year but to have met such a considerate and thoughtful guide who assessed our walking abilities and planned many extra visits to sites in Dorset which we would never have found for ourselves. We could hardly fail to be captured by your enthusiasm for your subject.”
Nigel & Felicity Hocking, Australia
“We would like to express our appreciation to you for organising what must rank as one of our most enjoyable holidays. Your attention to detail, the superb accommodation at the end of each day together with your personal support and supervision left nothing to chance. It was a wonderful experience and totally relaxing. We are hooked and are now starting to think of the next one!”
