The reserve also features the Jubilee Trail, which traverses Dorset from border to border, offering direct access to numerous miles of scenic footpaths, bridleways, and cross-country cycling routes around the hamlet of Pentridge. Despite the lodge’s tranquil countryside setting, it’s only 40 minutes from the stunning sandy beaches of the south coast and the fossil-rich Jurassic coast.
