Best Nature and Parks (RV, National, Dog, etc) in Weymouth Harbour

"On Holes Bay at the very north of Poole Harbour is a country park in 130 acres, with a Grade II listed manor house, formal gardens, a stretch of shoreline and parkland. Occasional guided tours of the Regency-era house are offered to the public, but the biggest appeal is the walled garden, which has neatly tended borders and flowerbeds and is edged by a terrace for the park’s tearooms, open seven days a week. There’s a splash fountain in summer, walking and cycling paths to explore, a soft play area in the Courtyard Barn and a plant centre, while segway tours of the estate are available in summer."

"These fantastic gardens have award-winning displays of flowers and also attractions for all of the family, you can access the park from Christchurch Road or directly from the beach. The whole family can enjoy battling it out playing on the 18 hole mini golf course, there is a children’s play area, with swings, see-saw, slides and water play feature, children’s nature trails, multi-use games area and you can hop on the Bournemouth Land Train."

"You can either get into your car and drive to Durdle Door for sunset photo or if you have time you can walk your way there. It isn’t close nor easy, but surely is a great experience with some stunning views of this incredible coast. Take some beers and crisps and enjoy the sun go down sitting on the beach at Durdle Door, see the ray of light painting it and changing the coulor of the sea itself, embrace nature and its incredible, speechless beauty. You are almost done for the day, it’s time for dinner, so drive to Wareham and eat some burgers or sausages and mash at Hall & Woodhouse."

"The Blue Pool is Dorset’s mythic hideaway, having spent decades mystifying its visitors with a dazzling spectrum of colour – shifting from bright blue to aqua green due to the diffracting light on the water’s surface.

"In a rambling green landscape, the formal gardens at this country estate have been remodelled twice over the last 300 years. The framework is from the 1720s, the same period as Kingston Maurward’s splendid Palladian mansion, and is in the style of Capability Brown. There were Victorian alterations in the 19th century, while a lot of what you’ll see was laid out between 1915 and 1922."

"And finally, a world of fun and exploration for under 5’s, this soft play cafe is light and airy, giving it a sense of relative calm, compared to other soft play centres.
