The Blue Pool

Approximately 25 minutes’ drive (13 miles) from The Sandbanks Ferry Shell Bay Terminal

The Blue Pool Nature Reserve & Tearooms are set in the 300-acre Furzebrook Estate on the Isle of Purbeck, Dorset.

The site offers more than 30 acres of nature-filled paths and walkways, with captivating views around every corner.

The Furzebrook Estate is a sanctuary for wildlife. Look out for Sika deer, birds of prey, and vibrant displays of dragonflies and damselflies across The Blue Pool in spring and summer.

The tearooms are a collection of enchanting historic buildings offering traditional dishes, locally sourced food and drinks.

Enjoy breakfast, lunch, or a classic afternoon cream tea in the Art Deco-inspired rooms, with outdoor dining available on the terrace.

The Blue Pool Nature Reserve & Tearooms are open 7 days a week, with a year-round programme of events – from outdoor cinema screenings to seasonal workshops.
