Durdle Door is a world famous geological wonder, with its massive rock arch, set right on the Jurassic Coast between Swanage and Weymouth. Our guide will take you on an exhilarating walk at your own pace, along the cliff top path to Lulworth Cove and back. The path is very safe and not difficult to overcome – only the views will take your breath away!
An historical gem belonging to the National Trust, Corfe Castle was built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, standing proudly above the local village. Having been partially demolished during the English Civil War, the ancient remains are steeped in history and will not dissapoint. Our tour guides are members of the National Trust and can escort you on your tour, whilst you explore the fallen walls and secret places. No trip to Corfe Castle would be complete without a visit to the incredible Swanage Railway, an award-winning, fully working preserved steam railway.
If you think you’ve seen woodland before, then think again. The New Forest offers visitors some of the most beautiful forestry and woodland scenary in the UK. It is the perfect compliment to this day tour and will allow you to relax and unwind in peace and tranquilty, exactly as nature intended it. Be sure to bring your cameras as our guide tour will take you on your own custom journey to see the sights and smell the fresh forestry air.
This tour can be customised with alternative visits to Avebury (a Neolithic henge monument containing three stone circles), Hampton Court (a royal palace), or Lacock Abbey & Village (picturesque streets and historic cottages featuring in Pride & Prejudice & Harry Potter). A visit to Porchester Castle, Portland Castle or Winchester Castle may also interest you.
For lunch our tour guide will happily give you a number of options to choose from on the day. The guide will stay with you at most locations but we cannot guide you inside all venues, you can discuss this with your guide on the day once you have agreed an itinerary. But the guide will tell you what and where to go and all the history and what time and where to meet once you are done at any self-guide locations you choose to visit.
