Dorset - Moors Valley Country Park & Forest

Something for everyone at this fabulous country park

If you're looking for an outdoor adventure that will have something to entertain even the fussiest family member, this is the place.

There is literally something for everyone here - from golf, fishing and steam train rides to segway tours, nature walks and tree-top walkways.

Being a mostly rural county, there are some pretty big country parks to visit in Dorset. Moors Valley Country Park and Forest is Dorset’s largest, at an impressive 1000 acres.

Moors Valley is a joint venture between Dorset Council and Forestry England. It's a big site to look after and the aim is to balance the needs of visitors with those of the environment and wildlife.

If we tried to tell you about all the things you can do at this country park, we'd get repetitive strain injury from all the typing. Suffice to say that whatever you like doing, you're pretty much guaranteed to be able to do it here.
