King Arthur's Trail
NEW for 2025 – King Arthur’s Trail is a journey through the wonderfully rural landscape of Somerset and Dorset, a region shaped by the myths and legends of King Arthut and his knights.

Steeped in history and a legendary mystique, this trail has a little of everything from beautiful villages to Iron Age hill forts, big views and tales of the knights of old, maybe even Arthur himself.
