Parks & Nature

Not 100% that it is a ;National Park'.....the website states it is a 'joint venture between East Dorset District Council and the Forestry Commission.... Whatever it is :) it's a great day out for all the family! There is a woodland play trail for the kids to make their way around (accompanied by parents I'd suggest as it's quite a long trail!) stopping at each point to play on a different Tree built activity. There is a great little Café and Restaurant (although we usually take our own packed lunches...children's meals tend to be about £6 and adults £10 + There is a souvenir shop, a train ride around the park, plus 'pay for' activities such as 'Go Ape!' Tree Top climbing, high ropes, orienteering, cycling and cycle hire, guided walks, multi sport activity days, golf, conservation volunteering, fitness buggy workouts, segways hire....something for everyone!! Some of these activities may require booking in advance or only be available on certain days.... FOR MORE INFO GIVE THEM A CALL ON 01425 470721 OPEN FROM 8AM EVERY DAY DISABLED TAX EXEMPT VEHICLES PARK FREE (otherwise only charge for entry to park is by auto vehicle plate recognition, then you pay before you leave by putting your reg number into a paypoint - it's very reasonable day out for just a few pounds parking!)
