Brownsea Island – National Trust

Brownsea Island, Poole, BH13 7EE.

Brownsea is a magical place where people and nature happily coexist, wildlife is conserved, and the landscape is sensitively managed. In spite of its small size, Brownsea has a wealth of different habitats to explore, from a sheltered lagoon to open heath, seashores, grasslands and woodland, each boasting its own fascinating wildlife. Red squirrels are famous residents on Brownsea and these elusive animals never fail to charm when spotted.

Brownsea Island is offering a 15% discount for all schools taking part in The Great British School Trip.

All groups must book their visit in advance by contacting the Brownsea Island Property Office on 01202 707744, option 8, and they will make special arrangements for your group to be booked in.
