This fantastic walking tour takes you on a trip back into the golden age of Smuggling of the 18th and 19th Centuries around the Dorset Coast, following in the footsteps of the “Free Traders” described in John Meade-Falkner’s book “Moonfleet” This tour is around the old Harbour area of Weymouth to discover the hidden paths, old Warehouse locations, secret tunnels, beaches, and isolated cove that were used for Smuggling by the local gangs based in the area.
The story of the Customs and Revenue men is also told, in the struggle to collect the tax due on luxury and everyday items used by the population of England, whilst the illicit Contraband Cargoes were bought into England by French, Dutch, and English ships, many of them backed by rich Merchants and even Government Officials!
