Take a boat trip from the historic Poole Quay across to Brownsea Island, a nature reserve owned jointly by the National Trust and Dorset Wildlife Trust. The island sits in the middle of Poole Harbour, with dramatic views to the Purbeck Hills. Thriving natural habitats, including woodland, heathland and a lagoon, have created havens for wildlife, such as the red squirrel and a huge variety of birds, including the sandwich tern. You'll find peacocks and hens wandering near the 19th-century church. Brownsea Island has a rich history to explore and was the inspiration for Lord Baden Powell for Scouts and Guides.
