Pool and Water Sports

Our outdoor level-deck swimming and paddling pools for younger children are heated from mid May to the end of September. Bathing towels should be brought.

Studland beach is 400 yards away through our grounds, five minutes walk down a gentle slope or one minute by car.

The National Trust manages the beach and dunes and operates a visitor centre from which there is wheelchair access to the water's edge.

Sailing, excellent wind-surfing, sea-fishing, skiing and diving are available locally, and instruction too.

Beach huts can be hired through the National Trust Country-side Office, Middle Beach, Studland (01929 - 450259)
