A new range of walking breaks are being launched by Foot Trails on the Wiltshire/Dorset Borders to lift the mood during the winter months.

“Winter is a magical time of year to walk” said Guide David Howell. “You can’t beat the sight of a clear blue sky, when all is peaceful, the frost crunches underfoot, and you can smell the wood smoke as it furls out of the chimney tops.” Along the 6 & 4 mile trails, guests can expect to see misty lakes, skeleton trees, hedgerows of red winter berries & festive villages. Hearty lunches will be offered at local inns. Evenings will be spent in front of a crackling fire, with dinner and ale.

Guided weekends start on November 18th, December 9th, January 6th and February 10th. Self-guided breaks can start on any date. Foot Trails provide easy to follow trails so you do not have to be able to read a map. Guided Winter Warmers are priced at £225 per person, Self-guided, £195 per person.
