There literally is nothing else like this! We walk the land, we sleep under the stars, our ponies pack the kit.

Dorset is a stunning county, with two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and 40% of the county designated National Landscape. It is a complex network of rolling fields, ancient woodlands, pine plantations and the tracks and green lanes that connect them, and we get you right in the middle of it, camping wild in ancient woodland. 

We take the work out of your walk by not only planning a gorgeous route, but with the help of our furry friends, Bob and Evie, the pack ponies. 

​Meander through heathland, woodland & plantation.
Cross sparkling fords, take in distant views.
Visit thatched villages along old smugglers routes.

​​​Our route is carefully planned, tried and tested to give you the best experience with pack ponies.​

Walk further, camp wilder, breathe...
