Southern England is characterised by its rolling countryside, traditional country inns, quaint local towns and villages and winding lanes. We travel through parts of Dorset, Hampshire and Somerset to search out little known corners of this part of the country and see historical sites and picture perfect villages that can only be explored along the backroads. Visit Royal homes and castles, taste local food and ales and see famous film sites (including Highclere Castle – the set of Downton Abbey) and see the areas that have inspired artists, poets and writers. Stopping into traditional country inns, staying in charming hotels and visiting historic sites is all part of the experience, however, this tour offers a more in-depth insight into the idyllic English countryside and local life.
Back-Roads Experiences:
