Walking in Dorset
There are many stunning walks in Dorset, which has nearly 3000 miles of rights of way, much of it well way marked and signposted. To improve the state of this network, Dorset County Council has embarked on an ambitious refurbishment program. So far 4000 new signposts have been erected, 1500 stiles and gates repaired or installed, and many miles of paths cleared of obstructions. We have local OS maps and several books and guides in the hotel reception.
