A fantastic nature reserve, made very popular by an appearance on BBC Springwatch. It has variable habitats including deciduous and coniferoues woodlands, heath and a small stretch of beach in Poole Harbour. Much of the reserve has good views over the Isle of Purbeck and Poole Harbour to places including Corfe Castle and Brownsea Island.
