This June, a new film of Thomas Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd hits cinemas, and is sure to spark renewed interest in the iconic British novelist and the stunning countryside about which he wrote.

The seven-night tour begins in Salisbury and takes in Shaftsbury, the Gold Hill, Ashmore (Dorset's highest village), Milton Abbas and Bingham's Melcombe. Accommodation includes Acorn Inn, Evershot, featured in Hardy's novel Tess of the d'Urbervilles before walkers visit Mapperton, one of the areas used as a location in the new Hardy film, and finally a walk along the Jurassic Coast.
Including seven nights' accommodation, seven breakfasts and luggage transfers, the package costs from $1385 a person, twin-share, with a 5 per cent discount if booked by June 30, using the code PPR15 when booking. See onfootholidays.co.uk.
