Every Region Tells a Story: Where will you hike in 2027?

Did you know Foot Trails has trips in different regions of South West England? Each one has a different story to tell. 

🌳Rural Somerset: A place of myth, legends and cider where King Arthur is said to have roamed and Alfred the Great sought refuge. Rural charm, gentle river valleys and the Georgian splendour of Bath.

🌊Exmoor: From the coast to the wild moor, through wooded river valleys where white water tumbles, past prehistoric stone and tucked away farming communities to finish on the dramatic heather-clad moor.

🌳Rural Dorset: A timeless landscape of lush green meadows, rolling chalk downs and charming villages and cottages – like stepping into a Thomas Hardy novel.

🌊Jurassic Coast: Explore 185 million years of history. Where tales of seafarers and smugglers meet stunning geological formations and coastal views as far as the eye can see.

🌳Wiltshire: Standing stones, rolling chalk downs, quintessential thatched cottages and over 6,000 years of human history. 

🌳Cotswolds: Classic Cotswolds countryside, towns and villages far from the crowds and the well-trodden trails.
