 Well away from the fret and hurried pace of modern life, relax and unwind in the beautiful countryside and sleepy villages of the West Country. Explore the stunning Dorset landscape and the unique Jurassic Coast, England's first natural World Heritage Site (ranking it alongside the Grand Canyon and Great Barrier Reef as one of the natural wonders of the world). When Dinosaurs ruled the earth, they obviously spent quite a bit of time checking out West Dorset!
Wessex's most famous son, Thomas Hardy, used the Blackmore Vale, Cranbourne Chase and the region's market towns and villages as the backdrop for many of his novels, including The Mayor of Casterbridge, Tess of the D'Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure. But you probably will not want to create a literary masterpiece, so just come and appreciate the peace, tranquillity and beauty of Wessex.
As with all our tours, there are options to build in rest days or extra days that make these ideal routes for those wanting to spend time exploring the Wessex countryside.
