Avon Heath

The park is dominated by lowland and wet heath, acid grassland and heather, which is broken only by clumps of birch and pine. Some of the rarer species to look out for are Sand Lizards and Smooth Snakes, Dartford Warblers, Woodlarks and Silver-studded Blue butterfly. The miles of tracks offer an opportunity to explore some of Dorset's internationally important heathland and its rare wildlife.
