Oakdene Forest Park is one place that persuades even the most determined sofa hugger to get up and partake in the activities on offer at this action-packed site. The delightful caramel sand beaches of Bournemouth are just 9-miles away, and the green backdrop of Avon blends coast and countryside for a relaxing and comfortable escape from modern life. The site rests in a peaceful location, on the fringes of the Hurn and Avon Forest, providing active types and nature lovers with plenty to explore and observe on foot or bike. Guests who prefer the buzz of the pier, family-friendly amusements, and the opportunity to kick back and soak in the sunshine will find much to do at the neighbouring Poole and Christchurch, as well as the world-renowned Jurassic Coast, famed for its excellent fossil-hunting opportunities. There is plenty to enjoy on-site as well, and one can enjoy a fun-filled escape without stepping outside the gates. Kids and big kids can participate in the Go Active activities and programmes, take part in archery and body-zorbing, or enjoy the first-class entertainment on offer. The Showbar plus the Acorn Bar and Restaurant ensure no one goes hungry, with delicious dishes and fantastic service. Dogs are welcome.
