Othona walking weeks usually take you right off the beaten track.

This time, for a change, each day's walk will include time exploring a historic Dorset (or Devon) town as well as some of its surrounding footpaths. Leading our adventures is Tony Jaques, Othona warden and a seasoned Dorset walker.

Walks might include countryside surrounding the following fascinating towns:
-Dorchester with its history before and after the Romans
-Lyme Regis beloved of Jane Austen
-Wimborne Minster with an ancient 'chained library'
-Axminster famous for carpets and River Cottage

Here's what guests said about the previous singing retreat:

"Suus picked a brilliant selection and I loved her teaching style. So inclusive and beautiful music"

"Just the right amount of teaching, fun, community and rest. Suus is a fantastic warm, intelligent and experienced teacher"

"Wonderful. I have no formal singing experience and didn’t feel in anyway an outsider. Felt part of the community really quickly."
