  • Small rural campsite with spectacular sunsets and countryside views
  • Half an hour’s drive from Lulworth Cove on the Jurassic Coast
  • Private woodland walk and access to public footpaths and bridleways
Twelve Acres Dorset is a scenic site sandwiched between a couple of areas of outstanding natural beauty: Dorset and Cranborne Chase. It’s a top place for unwinding in the countryside while being within driving distance of the Jurassic Coast. Popular stretches of sand like Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are half an hour by car from the park, a spot set in more than 10 acres of land overlooking meadows and woods. You won’t need to go far to find areas for ambling around as there’s a private tree-lined walk on site and immediate access to a network of footpaths and bridleways. Set off on strolls, then return in time to see the sunset – they’re said to be spectacular hereabouts. Wanders by the River Stour are also to be had from Blandford Forum (10 minutes’ drive), which is the spot for scooping up essentials from the local shops too. Fishing, horse riding and vineyard tours are a few of the other activities to try in the local area.
