Dorset Woodlands

 

From the extensive pine woodlands and heathlands in the Wareham and Ringwood areas, to the beautiful beech woodlands of Cranborne Chase, the forests of Dorset are a delight to discover.

How to get there:

Ringwood and Bournemouth and Wareham are the nearest towns or villages.

Covering the whole of the county, The Forestry Commission's woodlands are both close to the coast and spread throughout Hardy's Wessex. Dorset is also the home to the Forestry Commission's most popular site at Moors Valley Country Park.
