Antelope Walk is a small arcade with several small shops. Most of them are individual shops, not chains. It is a nice place to stroll around because everything looks very old-fashioned, almost like in a period drama. The emblem of the arcade shows an antelope, and the walk was named after the Antelope Hotel, a coaching inn that was located here. It is mentioned in Thomas Hardy's The Mayor of Casterbridge. There are several arts & crafts and gift shops, and you will find some pretty shops for clothing etc., but also food and drink. There is also a shop selling organic food, but I did not like it that much - it was very small and crowded and did not have many different choices. However, if you are looking for organic food, especially things like flour, oatmeal etc., this is where you might find it. The tourist information is located at one end of Antelope Walk. Walking through Dorchester
