This place is ideal for children of any age, especially the under 12s. Staff are superb and helpful, there are so many activities such as cow milking, goat feeding, pig racing, handling a guinea pig, a tractor ride, adventure playground, several flavours of ice cream, a restaurant with hot and cold food, bouncy castles and so on. We went with 2 year old toddlers and early teens and we all had an amazing time. Entrance fee is not cheap but do ask for what discounts are on. Once inside, some activities require an additional small charge.

RNLI Memorial Sculpture

Remembering past sacrifice to inspire future generations. Many brave and selfless RNLI volunteers are remembered proudly in their local communities. However, the RNLI memorial sculpture in Poole is the only place where each and every one of them is named together. The RNLI hopes that future generations of lifeboat crew, lifeguards, supporters and fundraisers will find it a source of inspiration. Ultimately, the memorial reminds us all that there are still people who volunteer to carry out selfless acts of heroism to help others - we will always remember their sacrifice.

The Upton County Park was absolutely wonderful to see and walk around got absolutely soaking wet from the rain but that didn't put me off as I was having such a lovely day there, of finding, taking pictures of so many different mushrooms, walking my lil feet off to all the beautiful views this place has to offer... ???????????? On arrival there's a large car park and toilets at the entry way.. Everything is sign posted, so you won't get lost, plus there's a tea room, toilets next to the children's play area, and also a park refreshment pod serving tea and coffee... There's lots to see here at the Upton County Park, from the lovely House to a walled garden and the many walks off into different directions leading you into the woodlands lake and sea views... Also there's a path that leads you straight back to the city centre, it was long but well worth it as the views and wildlife were fantastic ????????????????????????????????

Wonderful spot overlooking Poole Harbour, Brownsea Island and beyond. Plenty of public benches ideally positioned to enjoy the view. Something to offer at all times of day, especially during the longer and warmer days.

Steps up to see this from a closer viewpoint. A good view from the top, not too many steps to reach it either.
