Best Nature and Wildlife Areas in Mudeford

"There’s farmyard fun for the whole family at Longdown Activity Farm. Join in with a daily schedule of hands-on activities such as bottle-feeding kid goats and calves, and The Animal Encounter Barn. Lots of friendly farm animals to meet and plenty of indoor and outdoor play equipment too!"

"It has all the farm animals you’d expect from a working farm that you can feed and help look after. They have great indoor activities as well for raining days like a soft play and smaller handheld animals."

"While we’re on the topic of British wildlife, another of the best places to visit in the New Forest is the Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary. As the name suggests, this park is most famous for its population of Fallow Deer. Between April and September, the deer are fed by a park ranger – giving you an amazing chance to see them from the viewing platform."

"Bolderwood Arboretum is on Ornamental Drive that leads from the A35. It’s got a huge car park and toilets close by. If you go through the gate and follow the path it leads you down to a viewing around were you should be able to see some wild deer roaming throughout the forest."

"The lakes of this former collection of gravel pits set in 159 hectares of woods and grassland near Ringwood are absolutely stunning. Blashford Lakes Nature Reserve are a series of walks and trails around the lakes alongside 8km of rolled gravel paths and six bird hides open for the public to use. The list of birds is too long to mention with around 500 species."

"On Poole Harbour’s Arne Peninsula there’s a vast nature reserve, spreading across almost 1,400 acres. RSPB Arne has a stunning variety of habitats, including sandy beaches, scrub, wet woodland, ancient oak woodland, mudflats, reedbed, farmland and dry and wet lowland heath. There’s a “welcome hut”, where you can find out about the RSPB’s conservation activity in the park, and this also has a shop and cafe."

"Founded by the owner of Smokin’ Aces and situated on the same road, the restaurant has a fantastic street food inspired vegan menu that will suit those who like their food a little milder and for those who like a kick. They are famous for their range of tacos and nachos, which come in different gluten-free and vegan options. Aside from a great menu, Ojo Rojo have one of the largest collections of mezcal in the south of England."

"Amazing atmosphere, great food and some really nice vegan recipes. As a top-rated restaurant in Bournemouth, it really is a Bournemouth hidden gem that people need to dig into, the vegan food tastes amazing and you wouldn’t think it’s vegan at all."

"Address: 106 Commercial Road, The Triangle, Bournemouth BH2 5LR. Price guide: £5-£30 (depending on how hungry you are for mains versus tapas). Directly translated as “red eye”, Ojo Rojo offers visitors a Mexican-inspired exploration of the senses."

"In June 1987, after eight years of restoration work in Hartlepool, HMS Warrior finally returned to its home port of Portsmouth. Launched in 1860 and one of the world's first iron-hulled warships, this 418-foot-long, 9,700-ton vessel ranked as one of the biggest and best-equipped vessels of its type. Now a floating museum, HMS Warrior is a treat to explore."

"Built at Blackwall in London in 1859, HMS Warrior was the Royal Navy’s first iron-hulled warship and was powered both by steam and sail. She was the British answer to the French Second Empire’s Gloire, launched earlier that year. The iron hull allowed Warrior to be longer than other warships of the day (128 metres), and all of its guns were on one level."

"HMS Warrior is a 40-gun steam-powered armoured frigate built for the Royal Navy in 1859–61. She was the name ship of the Warrior-class ironclads."
