Upton Country Park

Upton Country park lays in a peaceful part of Poole and is renowned for its house and Peacocks. The park is all within the grounds of Upton house and consists of a walled garden large pond with ducks etc, and tea rooms with regular art exhibitions. One of the main draws is Upton country parks Peacocks after problems with thefts in the past the peacocks have cage built homes now but are free to roam the grounds displaying for anyone who takes an interest. There is plenty of parking and plenty of room and open spaces for picnics and fun with the family. We regularly walk the dog in the grounds and its nice just to wander and get lost in the beauty of the grounds. For a free day out this is a great place.

This is an excellent park. There is vast grass areas to the front and back where one can picnic, play games etc.
The are often events going on in the summer, such as Proms in the Park, children’s events, and as well as exhibitions of various kinds in the House, which is very beautiful.
At the back of the house, pathways lead to the harbour and there are board walks out into the reeds which is wonderful for bird spotting and other flying fauna. Schools often make trips here.
On a warm day, it really is lovely to walk down on Holes Bay on the board walks — you can feel very far from the busy life so near by.
