Taking place during National Walking Month, the Dorchester Walking Festival promises a memorable week of guided walks suitable for all abilities. The walks will reveal Dorset’s stunning landscapes, hidden corners, and rich heritage, offering everything from gentle strolls to more challenging routes. The Bunker is located on the South West Coast Path, just 10 miles from Dorchester, with Chesil Beach on its doorstep, and offers affordable, walker-friendly accommodation with private rooms and options for groups.

Sleeping up to 18 in 6 private bunk rooms, each with a shower and sink, The Bunker offers affordable accommodation for groups and individuals. It has a large communal area, kitchen with tea and coffee and free WiFi. Breakfast and packed lunches available when booked in advance.

All walks will be open for booking on Eventbrite from February 2026. Early booking is strongly advised, as many walks sold out quickly last year.
