Best places: Nature preserves in Hinton St Mary, United Kingdom

👍👍 A great day out in a great location. We were very lucky with the weather during our visit. It was very sunny, which meant that the ground was good and firm. (The National Trust do advise that you take wellies or good walking shoes as the ground can be soft in places). We enjoyed some lovely woodla...

👍👍 The perfect place for a short walk or a long hike. Very easily accessible from Weymouth and particularly nice when the cool breeze rolls in from the sea. Be sure to pack for all weather if going on a long hike as it can turn in an instant. One moment you are walking along rolling hills in the sunsh...

👍👍 I was amazed this was free entry and only a nominal £3 for parking all day. It's a wonderful place for a walk with large and small hides to view the birds. Binoculars are needed for seeing the birds and there are useful information signs displaying a picture of the birds and what they are. I certai...

👍👍 Dean made me welcome as soon as I arrived. The location is beautiful: on the edge of a field filled with wild flowers.

There are usually plenty of other people walking their dogs, as well as hikers, cyclists and joggers. There are lots o...

👍👍 The most amazing views of our beautiful countryside, on this great little walk

👍 Very beautiful nature reserve, although a little on the smaller side with not too many walks. But well maintained paths and friendly staff on site. The nature reserve also has a beautiful cafe with lovely views looking out on the lakes, with great outdoor seating. It's not too far from Salisbury if...
