We’re open for 2027!

We’re open for 2027 and are taking bookings from guests looking to hike the paths less trodden in South West England next year.

We’re already excited about sharing our corner of the South West to new and returning guests in 2027. From the Cotswolds to the coast, there are so many different landscapes to explore.

The Cotswolds

World famous, and rightly so! At Foot Trails, our trips are curated to take you away from the crowds and onto the quiet ways that Alison & I have walked our entire lives.

Dorset's Jurassic Coast

185 million years of history, breathtaking sea views and intriguing tales of smugglers and seafarers… just some of the reasons why we love Dorset’s Jurassic Coast.

Exmoor

Looking for a true escape into the wild? Welcome to Exmoor. In this wild and secluded corner of the South West, the sounds of nature, tumbling water and the wash of the sea are the backdrop to your hiking adventure.

Wiltshire

Walk through 5,000 years of history on quiet paths far from busy tourist crowds. Wiltshire is a place of rolling chalk downs, big skies, idyllic villages and prehistoric monuments. 

North Dorset

The natural beauty of north Dorset has inspired writers and poets like Thomas Hardy and William Barnes for centuries. Having walked the footpaths and trails of this beautiful county for decades, we fully understand why.

Somerset

We love the Somerset Levels for its slow, rural way of life, the folklore and storytelling that runs rich through the landscape and, of course, for its ancient apple orchards and heritage cider farms.

Bath & The Avon Valley

The section of the River Avon Valley that wends its way through Wiltshire and Somerset to the Georgian city of Bath is an incredibly scenic, little-known oasis. A place where early morning mists cover tranquil waterways and brightly colored barges pass slowly by, trailing woodsmoke on the breeze.
