Autumn Walks in Wareham Forest Dorset

We've had a bit of a quiet week and have felt a bit cooped up as Elliot has been poorly. We were definitely in need of some fresh air so we decided to go for a walk at one of our local forests.

Wareham Forest is just a few miles down the road from us but we haven't visited for years, one of those places we always say we need to visit but never get round to it!

We didn't really know where the best places to walk would be so we just stopped at one of the first carparks and discovered that there was a 2 mile circular trail which was perfect. Not too far for little legs!

It was great to be out in the fresh air and there wasn't another soul in sight so it was really peaceful. We followed the trail and ended up climbing a big hill, which turned out to be an Iron Age settlement. The views from the top were amazing and the Autumnal colours of the heathland and woodland were in full flourish.


It's great now Elliot isn't using the buggy as much because we can be a bit more adventurous with our walks. I would never have got the buggy up the woodland paths, let alone the hill so it gives us that much more freedom!


I say it time and time again but I'm so lucky to live in this part of the world - Dorset is such a beautiful place with so much to offer and I can't see us moving away anytime soon!

  5. How amazing to have a beautiful walk like that so close to home and find no one else there, it looks like the sort of place that should be full of people enjoying the autumn sun. the colours in the trees are amazing. Well done Elliot, it looks quite a hike for little legs. Thank you for sharing with me on Country Kids

  6. Isn't Autumn the most beautiful time of the year? I love summer and would definitely call myself a summer girl but there is something so very special about this time of year. These pictures are just stunning! Thanks for linking up to #SundayStars x
