Whether you have a beautifully landscaped garden or a collection of pots and planters outside your park home, autumn is all about preparing for the seasons ahead.
Early Morning – Start the Day Your Way
No two mornings need to be the same.
As part of the Shorefield family, Merley Court residents can enjoy access to the leisure facilities at nearby Oakdene Forest Park, just a 20 minute drive away. Whether you choose an invigorating swim in the indoor pool or a workout in the gym, it's a wonderful way to start the day feeling refreshed.
If a slower morning is more your style, there's no better place to enjoy it than at home. Savour a leisurely breakfast in the garden, enjoy a cup of tea on the patio or simply take a few moments to appreciate the peaceful surroundings before planning the day ahead.
Late Morning – Explore the Local Area
Merley Court enjoys an enviable location just a few minutes from the historic market town of Wimborne. Spend the morning browsing independent shops, visiting the weekly market, enjoying coffee at a local café or picking up fresh produce from nearby farm shops.
For those who love the outdoors, the park offers direct access to the Castleman Trailway, making it easy to enjoy a leisurely walk or cycle through Dorset's beautiful countryside. Alternatively, nearby attractions such as Kingston Lacy, Moors Valley Country Park and the Dorset coast are all within easy reach for a day of exploring.
Midday – Lunch with Family or Friends
After a morning out, it's time to relax over lunch.
Perhaps you'll meet friends at a traditional country pub, enjoy lunch at one of Wimborne's many cafés, or head home to make the most of your own kitchen and outdoor space. If family are visiting, it's the perfect opportunity to enjoy good food and great company without the demands of maintaining a larger home.
One of the many benefits of residential park home living is having more time to focus on the moments that matter most.
