Lovely day out with kids. We had ages 2-7 and they all enjoyed running, looking for birds and generally enjoying nature. The park is well maintained and nice trails for walking, running and cycling. Food and toilet facilities at hand. There's a no bin policy, so be prepared to take home your trash.

Amazing park! The walkway to adventure into the woods was closed but we still had so much fun in the park, sandpit, slides, river and on the grass. I got a kids hot chocolate and it was sooo big!! I'm dreading on What a large hot chocolate would have looked like! Will definitely be returning again

This is a beautiful country park with excellent and friendly Rangers. Avon Heath is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, a Special Protected Area and a Special Area of Conservation which makes the walks far more interesting when you have the opportunity to see the local wildlife and the work that is done to preserve the land. We look forward to seeing the planned future work as the heathland is restored even further over the coming years.

Perfect place for families, dog walkers or any walker to visit. You start by entering car park. You pay at the machine at the end of visiting. We walked our 2 dogs around the red route, beautiful, a mix of glades, forest picnic areas, sandy walks and twists and turns, then back to visitor centre with gifts, books and interesting facts. We went to the cafe and had a bacon bap, with salad, crisps and salad dressing and a regular cappuccino while partner had the sausage bap which also came with crisps, salad and dressing but had an apple juice. I also got our dogs a dog ice cream to share. Vikki was amazing and very thoughtful and kind. Was a lovely visit went last year but was a little humid and overcast, pups were younger and we only did a short route. A beautiful sunny day with plenty of shade. Cafe was immaculate and a fair price for an unexpected large offering. Thank you Vikki, it's credit to you and staff that made our visit perfect.

Great place to spend a few hours - nice large park with a cafe and lots of seating nearby. With a big field for games and picnics. We also like the visitor centre and the reptiles house and bird hide. Staff very helpful and friendly. Good value parking which is much better than moors valley down the road. Although granted there isn't as much to do at Avon Heath. Be aware there are no bins at the park, so you have to take rubbish home if you bring a picnic. Not sure if this applies for if you buy from the cafe and takeaway or whether they will take rubbish for you in there. A lovely way to spend a morning!

All the staffs there are so friendly and tends to any individual need graciously but not her. The following detail might look just like “A storm in a coffee cup” to you. I’m firmly believe that any successful business factors will always want to be ahead of the curve with the right customer services. I am always bringing my thermal cup for my favourite flat white. And I also knew that there will be a triple shot of coffee in it Which will making me a bit jittery hence I am always asking for a bit more hot milk on mine. Every bouts of my visit on this branch ,they all knows my favourite by heart, not even need to ask. On my visit today with this female staff, I specifically politely asked her the same manner of making. Theoretically speaking,I could be wrong from her training. Her foul response was ricocheting me with a lecture of how to make flat white ,plus she said she’ll be told off if she’s giving me more milk. I don’t mind to pay for extra drop of milk but she didn’t mention it. All she’s done was turn to be stern and rudely blank me by turning her back to me without any further rectification..The magnitude of her acts made me stunned and walked out. Few minutes passed, then I just can’t drink that coffee. I need to walk back into the shop again. I politely asked her for more milk again then she’s not only refuse to my need but also turn her back to me again by rallying the other staff next to her declaring her raucous victory over the customer!,, By asking the other staff whether her wrong or right! Talking about me within my earshot. If you can see from your cctv , she deliberately ignored me without rectifying nor mediating the incident. I am their very local and also been there nearly on a daily visit. Gobsmacking by being blatantly ignored and not being treated as a customer at all. In the end, I decided to walk out and stay away from this shoddy service. I just need to reassure you that I won’t be back to patronising any things from this Wimborne branch again.

The service is okay, polite, but everything seems rushed. However, the coffee isn't as good as other Costa coffees. It is very weak tasting and can never taste the syrup flavour. I will continue to go to Costa, just not this shop.
