Farmer Palmers Farm Park
About: Farmer Palmers Farm Park is a firm family favourite not just amongst us, but lots of locals and visitors here in Poole. They have a pre-booking system in place which saves having to buy tickets once you get there, and cuts down the contact with people on the gates. It's very easy to keep 2m apart at all times at Farmer Palmers, and with plenty of outdoor and indoor play, tractor rides, animals to see and a cafe on site, it makes the perfect socially distanced family day out.
Address: Wareham Rd, Organford, Poole, Organford, Poole BH16 6EU
Beach Walk
About: Whilst we've exhausted every beach in Poole, it's something you can never get bored of and it's certainly easy to keep your distance! One of our favourites has to be Sandbanks, which spans a distance of around 5km. No matter what the weather, there's always so much fun to be had at the beach!
Address: Take your pick from Poole's endless beach spots, you can find a list of them here!
Watersports
About: Participating in outdoor activities isn't just great for your mind but is also the ideal place to meet up socially distanced with friends and family. Poole is home to one of the most beautiful coastlines in the UK and offers an array of large lakes and an abundance of watersports clubs and facilities that are ideal for socially distanced days out.
Rockley at Poole Park in the centre of town is on the shores of the UK's largest inland saltwater lakes and a place that specialises in introductory courses and qualifications for inidviduals and groups for sailing, windsurfing and kayaking.

Visit Poole's Beautiful Parks
About: Poole plays host to a number of breathtaking parks and open spaces that not only provide you with the space to take in some fresh sea air, but also allows you to enjoy the picturesque coastal and countryside views.
There are so many positive implications from stepping outside and going for walks, but also it is now one of the most popular ways to meet friends and family socially distanced.

Visit a Nature Reserve
About: There's something very special about visiting a Nature Reserve, and one of our favourites has to be RSPB Arne, situated near Wareham on the edge of Poole Harbour. Arne is one of the few places in the UK where all six of the UK's native reptiles can be found, and with plenty of gorgeous walks and lots of exciting wildlife to see, it makes a great socially distanced day out for all on a sunny day!
