Dorset is an excellent destination for a walking weekend, offering countryside, woodland, historic landscapes, villages and coastal routes. Wimborne and East Dorset are particularly suitable for visitors who prefer rural walking while still wanting access to attractions, good food and traditional towns. A walking weekend can include daytime routes followed by relaxed meals at country pubs and visits to local attractions. The Cockerel provides a countryside dining destination that fits naturally into this type of break. Whether you are planning a weekend as a couple, with friends or as a family, Dorset offers plenty of opportunities to combine outdoor activities with good food and a slower pace.
