We've just returned from a fabulous vineyard tour and wine tasting. Went with some friends from our local wine society - socially distanced of course - and Sarah and Andrew were so interesting, knowledgeable and entertaining. Plus the wine tasting with food to match was just superb.
2. Brownsea Island
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,407 reviews
Owned by the National Trust, Brownsea Island is dramatically located in Poole Harbour, with spectacular views across to the Purbeck Hills. Thriving natural habitats - including woodland, heathland and a lagoon - create a unique haven for wildlife, such as the rare red squirrel and a wide variety of birds, including dunlin, kingfishers, common and sandwich terns and oystercatchers. The Outdoor Centre invites you to come and follow in the footsteps of Lord Baden-Powell and the very first Scouts who camped here in 1907. Scout and Guide Groups can camp and get stuck in with activities such as archery and low ropes and we also offer Eco Adventure Camping as an opportunity for the general public to come and experience the great outdoors. The perfect day's adventure - this island wildlife sanctuary is easy to get to but feels like another world from the moment you step ashore.

3. Sandbanks Beach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,813 reviews
Naturally beautiful, with its golden sand, Sandbanks Beach has been designated by the European Commission as one of the few areas in the United Kingdom which has achieved the highest standard of cleanliness. Sandbanks has held the highly coveted international Blue Flag for the past 30 years and offers a designed area for barbeques and swimmers. New slacklining posts have been installed. Equipment is available to hire from the beach office. Activities at Sandbanks include crazy golf, a children's play area and the Sandbanks Beach Cafe. The number 50 Wilts and Dorset bus from Bournemouth Station to Swanage stops near to the beach (generally every half hour in the summer). There is a car park next to the beach that holds 550 cars, 5 for disabled use.

We've not been for some 20-odd years and apard from the new entrance and cafe, nothing has changed. The gardens are absolutely wonderful - the formality of the Italian gardens; the jungle woodland gardens full of cameila and rhododendrons, and the flowing Japanese garden with stunning photogenic views. We arrived for lunch and had a stupendous ham, egg and chips - huge amounts of off-the-bone wonderful ham! Then our walk around the gardens before revisiting the cafe for tea and cake. Then back into the garden for a second walk around before finally ending up at the plant centre and buying a lovely Pittosporum tobira 'Variegata' with the most wonderful scent! We'll be back!
6. Lush Spa Poole

The birth place and first ever store of Lush Cosmetics! With our Spa next door and exclusive products that can't be purchased anywhere else, we are a must see for every Lush fan.

I read a couple of the lower scoring reviews for Lush Poole and I would just say that to leave negative feedback for not being able to get in on a Saturday due to work commitments is completely unfair to the business and can only be a positive to show how popular this little gem of a place is. Booking for us was easy, and we arrived on time (another gripe of a reviewer who did not!!!) staff on arrival on shop floor all super friendly. Spa staff all equally lovely and what a lovely atmosphere you are transformed into once you go through the spa door. Full bathroom with Lush products to use before or after your treatment all super clean. Vintage themed and tastefully decorated with fresh flowers and a pretty outdoor courtyard to enjoy your after spa refreshments for the warmer months. I'm sorry I might have eaten more shortbread than I should! I found it an amazing experience. I can't wait to come back. Thank you Lush Spa Poole.

Branksome Chine is a fabulous place to go, always busy but much better than other nearby beaches. Parking can fill up quickly but you can park nearby in the side roads. Good restaurant/café and beach shop Lovely promenade that allows you to walk all the way to Bournemouth and beyond Canford Cliffs village is a short walk from here If you cross the road you can walk through the Chine all the way to Penn Hill My favourite local beach
