Moors Valley Country Park

About Moors Valley Country Park

How to get there:

Moors Valley Country Park is part of Dorset Woodlands. Ashley Heath is the nearest town or village.

Take the Ashley Heath turning off the A31 just West of Ringwood (Moors Valley Country Park is signposted with a brown tourism signpost). Go through Ashley Heath and the park entrance is situated on the right just as you come out of the village.

Unfortunately no bus takes you to the entrance of the park, but the X34 bus from Bournemouth and Ringwood takes you to Ashley Heath. From there it is a 1/2 mile walk to the visitor centre.

Activities:

	Moors Valley Country Park has almost 20 miles of waymarked trails to follow as well as miles of other gravelled and grassy tracks to explore.
	Bring your own or hire a bike on site so you can enjoy the miles of way marked routes that allow you to explore the far reaches of the Park without fear of getting lost. Please help us to help everyone enjoy their time at Moors Valley by not cycling on the Play Trail.
	If you are wanting to horseride in our Ringwood Forests, including Moors Valley Country Park, you will require a Forestry Commission Horse Riding Permit. The charge for an annual permit in 2008 is £45.00. If you are riding on bridleways a permit is not required. For more information or to get your permit please call 023 8028 6838 (Mon - Fri 9am - 3pm).

Lovely day out, especially if the weather is good. Only down sides, they run out of bikes for hire quickly and the car park is very expensive!
