Dorset Heaths is the best heathland in Britain, providing a unique environment which is home to a wide range of wildlife.

Dorset's heath lands once covered over 50,000 hectares, stretching as far as Dorchester and Poole.

The heathland is not a 'natural' habitat but was created and shaped by ancient man over about 4,000 years.
