Our Visitor Centres

                    Welcome to our Visitor Centres in Dorset 

Our visitor Centres are perfect for a day out with nature in Dorset.  We have something for you if you want to visit the coast or countryside, if you want to walk or relax with a cup of tea, or if you want to learn and explore off the beaten-track.  PLEASE NOTE: Our visitor centres in Dorset are currently closed due to Covid-19. Please check here for updates.
