Hurn Forest, located in East Dorset near Bournemouth Airport, is a significant area of over 370 hectares managed by Forestry England, offering a mix of coniferous and broadleaf woodland, open heathland, and wetland habitats. Originally established on former heathland after WWII for timber production, the forest now serves multiple purposes, balancing commercial forestry with conservation and public recreation. It is a valued green space popular for walking, cycling, and wildlife spotting, with a network of tracks, a 1.5km waymarked trail, and is home to rare species such as the Smooth Snake, Silver-studded Blue Butterfly, and the Bechstein's bat, highlighting its ecological importance as a biodiverse corridor near a highly populated area.

Great views great ride nice wide gravel track

It’s a great wide path with forest views.

gravel all the way

This is a fantastic area for bikes, mainly for the jumps. It's great to watch. If you do the jumps, bear in mind that some of them are quite big for a novice.
