Studland's Easter Adventure in Nature
Join us for a nature themed Easter trail. Explore the dunes and woodland of Studland and learn about the wonderful wildlife with whom we share this special place.
- Booking not needed
Head along the trail and find nature inspired activities for the whole family. How quick can you be at the animal run? Can you describe the animals in guess who? Will you correctly match the animals to their winter homes?
Prices are £3.50 per child.
Some of the areas can be quite wet or muddy so wellies or old shoes are recommended.
There will be two routes to choose from this year, both starting at visitor reception.
Little Explorers is a 1km circular route through the sand dunes and woodland. Ideal for littler ones or those who need a shorter route, with one sandy incline.
Big Explorers is a 2km circular route that follows the sand dunes trail, with views out over little sea from the ridge. This route has some wooden steps and two more inclines, with some extra nature activities and facts along the way. This route will also include a woodland section on the way back.
You can choose from either a chocolate egg* or a vegan and Free From chocolate egg*. *The National Trust wants to contribute to a better world for people and nature. That is why we source our cocoa responsibly by buying from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms. www.rainforest-alliance.org
