The perfect day’s adventure, this island wildlife sanctuary is easy to get to but feels like another world from the moment you step ashore. Brownsea Island is open between 19 March - 30 October 2022. The island sits in the middle of Poole Harbour, with dramatic views to the Purbeck Hills. Thriving natural habitats, including woodland, heathland and a lagoon, have created havens for wildlife, such as the rare red squirrel and a huge variety of birds, including the sandwich tern. You'll find peacocks and hens wandering near the 19th-century church. The island is steeped in history. Several industries have thrived on Brownsea Island over the years, including cattle farming, daffodil farming and pottery. You'll see remnants of all of this on the island - with Pottery Pier still surrounded by shards of the ceramics that were once crafted there. You can also see the remains of the village of Maryland, which once housed scores of workers and their families. The historic campsite is the birthplace of the Scouting and Guiding movement and is a great place to start your very own adventure. Enjoy a night under the stars in one of the beautiful bell tents or simply pack and pitch your own tent by the water's edge and soak up the views of the Purbeck hills. Families can make the most of their day too, with free trails and a natural play area. During school holidays there are a regular free activities on offer from arts and crafts and bug hunting to 50 Things fun and Easter and Halloween trails. The warmer months see special events, including Brownsea Open-Air Theatre and wildlife tours. Whatever the season, there's something new to experience and enjoy on Brownsea Island - from the spring blossom to the autumn leaves, the warm summer waters to the beautiful winter sunsets. Some choose to reach Brownsea Island on their own boat or kayak, which you're welcome to do so - landing on the South Shore beaches; otherwise it's a short ferry trip from the mainland.

Enjoy a short boat trip from Poole Harbour to Brownsea Island and take in the spectacular views across the Purbeck Hills. Brownsea island is the home to the rare Red Squirrel and plenty of beautiful Peacocks. There are camping and picnic areas, nature trails, a cafe and gift shop for you to explore on Brownsea Island. We really love this place. It offers something for everyone to enjoy and plenty of space to spread out. No allowed to take dogs tho!
