Upton Country Park

“Gorgeous sandy beach with lots of activities for the children. Head for the Middle Beach where there's a great National Trust cafe and lots of equipment for hire. We've had lots of wonderful days out here. On the drive back towards Corfe Castle stop at the layby on your right where you'll usually find an ice cream van, and enjoy wonderful views over Poole Harbour and Brownsea Island. ”

“For a very special meal or occasion - the Priory, with its lovely gardens overlooking the river at Wareham, can't be beaten. ”

“The Jurassic coast - home to Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, Corfe Castle, Swanage to name a few”

“The nature reserve, near Wareham, has a cafe at the entrance and beautiful scenery and wildlife.”

“The perfect day’s adventure, this island wildlife sanctuary is easy to get to but feels like another world from the moment you step ashore. The island sits in the middle of Poole Harbour, with dramatic views to the Purbeck Hills. Thriving natural habitats, including woodland, heathland and a lagoon, have created havens for wildlife, such as the red squirrel and a huge variety of birds, including the sandwich tern. You'll find peacocks and hens wandering near the 19th-century church.”
