World Sand Dunes Day Nature Walk
Celebrate Studland's dynamic sand dunes by joining us for a nature walk.
Find out how the dunes formed and what plants and wildlife call them home. A family friendly event, we will take activity sheets, binoculars and bug pots for the kids to use, as we explore together and see what we can find.
We will walk approximately 2km, along our sand dunes trail, which is all on sand and has a few inclines, one with wooden steps. The walk will last approximately 2 hours. If you have younger children and want to just join us for the first hour, we will have a point at which you can loop back to the beginning to shorten the walk.
