Kingcombe Nature Reserve in Dorset is a shining example of how to strikingly balance wildlife preservation, visitor engagement, sustainable farming, and holiday accommodation. Managed with care and dedication by Dorset Wildlife Trust, Kingcombe offers visitors a peaceful retreat while maintaining thriving habitats for its diverse flora and fauna.
Our guided walk on a bright sunny morning began with a breathtaking flypast by swifts, soaring above as we climbed the historic drove road leading out from the Kingcombe Centre—a charming hub composed of restored farm buildings.
