Guide Provided By Bournemouth Removals
Bournemouth is blessed with some of the finest scenery in the UK. So whether you are looking to have a gentle walk with your family or something more challenging here is our roundup of the top walks to try out in Bournemouth.
Boscombe Pier is a musical pier. Walk down to Boscombe beach
or stroll to the end of Boscombe Pier to enjoy the sea air or for a top photo opportunity. You will discover many beautiful musical instruments as you wander along this Pier. These instruments are not only handcrafted but made especially for the Pier.
Kingston Lacy is a lavish family home that resembles an Italian Palace. With the rooms teeming with paintings by Brueghel, Titian, Van Dyck, and Rubens, this is an art lover’s dream. The Egyptian Room features one of the largest collections of Egyptian artefacts in the UK. Wander around the Japanese Garden or take a sheltered walk through the surrounding woodland. There are lots to see on the 8500 acres of the estate from water meadows to Iron Age forts and even a Roman road.
Cerne Giant is an ancient naked figure sculpted into the chalk hillside above Cerne Abbas. It stands at 180 ft tall and it is one of the largest chalk hill figures in Britain. There is a rectangular earthwork enclosure above the Giant known as the Trendle. The Trendle is believed to date back to the Iron Age, and it is still used as a site for May Day celebrations by local Morris Dancers. It offers different viewpoints in different lights as the Giant can sometimes look starkly white or be a faint outline at other times.
There is also a short walk up to the Giant’s feet and Giant’s View car park offers the best viewing spot.
Brownsea Island is located in Poole Harbour and it offers spectacular views across the Purbeck Hills. It features thriving natural habitats including a lagoon, heathland, and woodland. It is a unique haven for wildlife such as the red squirrel and a wide range of birds, including oystercatchers, sandwich terns, kingfishers, and dunlin. At the Outdoor Centre, you can follow in the footsteps of the first scouts to camp here and that of
Lord Baden Powell. Brownsea Island is a wildlife sanctuary that is easy to get to and gives you a feeling of another world.
Corfe Castle is one of the UK’s most evocative and iconic English Civil War survivors. It is a favourite haunt for children and adults alike. With breathtaking views across Purbeck, the romantic castle ruins will definitely captivate you. Try local walks with great views from heath and hill. You can also follow the Purbeck Ridgeway to the sea and come back by steam train.
Discover more than 2000 years of history at Old Sarum. For views over the Wiltshire plains, climb the mighty ramparts. You can discover the Iron Age hill fort; conquer the royal castle which stood high on the motte and stand in Salisbury’s original cathedral footprint.
