Guided Tours Dorchester

Set in the undulating hills of rural Dorset, Dorchester is a town of great beauty and historic charm, renowned for its museums, Iron Age hillfort, and Neolithic earthworks. It was the birthplace of English author Thomas Hardy and is home to Poundbury – the urban development built on the principles of architecture advocated by HM King Charles III in ‘A Vision of Britain’.

At Hilton Ames, we are proud to offer bespoke guided tours of Dorchester and the surrounding areas. Whether you’re dropping by for the day or staying for a longer time, we can design a tour filled with special details that will make wonderful memories.
