Pinehurst Park Homes

In a beautiful part of East Dorset, Pinehurst Park is close to the A31 with good road links to Southampton/London, approximately 15 miles from Bournemouth, 10 miles from Poole and 4 miles from Ferndown. There is also a bus service from West Moors village, and one closer to the Park, to Poole, Bournemouth and Ringwood. National Express travel to many parts of the country from Ringwood.

West Moors is a village with a range of shops, mainly independent businesses, two pubs and a doctors’ surgery. There is also a small parade of useful shops nearby, which includes a bakery and café. Fryer’s Field Pavilion and the Memorial Hall are available for a range of classes and functions and there is a library situated within the village. Nearby Ferndown gives more choice of shops as well as a community centre offering a range of activities.

Only a 15 minute drive from Pinehurst Park, Moors Valley has a mixture of habitats including coniferous forest, deciduous woodland, lakes, ponds, rivers, meadow and heathland which, in turn, support a huge variety of wildlife. Throughout the summer months you will be able to see wildflowers along the path edges including Comfrey, Ragged Robin, Bluebells and Purple Loosestrife. They in turn help attract many butterflies, moths and other insects. Later in the year it’s the trees that hold the attention; the dog woods and maples especially give an excellent display of autumn colours and a great number of toadstools and other fungi that can be seen on the woodland floor.

Moors Valley run a number of various activities for children (and grandchildren) including a high rope walk and play areas, as well as hiring bikes for people of all ages to ride through this beautiful park with so much to see and do.

The Park is only a few miles from Holt Heath Nature Reserve which has miles of good walking trails, and the New Forest, which is within an easy driving distance, where the New Forest ponies can be seen as well as Dartford Warblers and Curlews and a variety of butterflies.

Bournemouth, with its extensive gardens and shops, and Sandbanks’ beaches are approximately a half hour drive away, as is Poole, recently rated to have the largest natural harbour in the world, where you can find a wide range of shops as well as enjoying a drink on the Quay in one of the quaint old pubs or a coffee in one of the cafes, whilst watching the comings and goings of the various boats and admiring the Sunseeker yachts being built.

If it’s history you’re interested in, there are many beautiful homes and gardens to visit as well as places such a Corfe Castle and Maiden Castle.
Dorset has a wealth of interesting towns and villages and “things to do” that will keep you (and perhaps your grandchildren!) happy for many hours.

After a day of fun and fresh air exploring, you’ll be pleased to know that there are many places to relax and refuel. Fresh fish and locally sourced produce appear in many eateries all over the area.

With its proximity to good road links, countryside and the coast Pinehurst Park Homes is one of those special places whose location gives the best of everything.
