UPTON GLEN COUNTRYSIDE HOMES

fd7e650d-ce71-4dec-b922-93b94cbf2b2c
SECLUSION without isolation is the name of the game at Upton Glen. Set in a valley leading to the sea, it’s the ideal for people looking for a residential park with the tranquillity of a quintessential Dorset hamlet, surrounded by some of England’s most beautiful countryside, yet with the spectacular Dorset coastline just a short walk from your door.

Despite its location in a popular tourist area Upton Glen offers peaceful, quiet surroundings. A long driveway and sympathetically landscaped grounds add to the sense of privacy and calm. 

Upton Glen has plenty nearby to keep you busy, as well as the beautiful coastline – there are stables close at hand if you enjoy riding, coarse fishing available in the park’s own lake, and two nearby RSPB reserves at Abbotsbury Swannery and Brownsea Island if twitching is more your thing.

The local pub, The Smugglers’ Inn, is just a short stroll from the park, offering an excellent menu and range of traditional ales. Just what you need to unwind at the end of a long day spent enjoying the countryside.
