The Jurassic Coast is only a 15 minute drive away and boasts beautiful golden sand beaches including Studland and Shell Bay. The seaside resort of Swanage and the attractive town of Wareham. A bit further in the car will get you to majestic Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove.
And if you'd rather get active than laze on beaches there are many great walking and cycling routes to explore. Test out your skills with a coasteering session or get some energy going on the Burnbake Ropes Course, a challenging mix of zip wires and rope adventures high in the trees which is right by the site.
Join the Mud Trail for an action packed afternoon, or if you have a head for heights you can take on climbing and abseiling on the Swanage cliffs, rafting and kayaking in Wareham and canoeing in Poole Harbour.
