Leisure Activities
Rural Dorset offers the perfect 'getaway' break into the countryside, together with a range of outdoor leisure pursuits, from gentle country walks and fishing to cycling, horse riding and golf.
Take your pick from the choice available: rambles along the scenic and gently meandering Stour and Avon Valley Ways, the open chalk downland byways of the Cranborne Chase, the numerous footpaths and viewpoints of the Blackmore Vale, or the majestic woodlands on the fringes of the New Forest.
With such glorious scenery and open countryside, horse riding is a popular pastime and a wide range of establishments cater for all abilities. There are also many opportunities for fly or coarse fishing in high quality streams and rivers or one of many well-stocked lakes.
A number of excellent local courses offer visiting golfers a “pay and play option”; Moors Valley, for example, has 18 picturesque holes set amongst lakes and woodland. Moors Valley Country Park also offers a number of delightful off-road cycle routes to explore, with bike hire available. Plenty of other, more challenging on-road cycling is available on the North Dorset Cycleway.
So take the bait and enjoy a “leisurely” break in East Dorset!
