Moors Valley accredited

Moors Valley Country Park and Forest has been recognised as one of the best in the country after passing the national Country Park Accreditation Scheme.  

The award means that visitors to Moors Valley can be sure of benefitting from the core services and facilities expected of Country Parks.

The accreditation success follows assessment by Natural England, the Government’s adviser on the natural environment, who run the Country Parks Accreditation Scheme.

Nick Tucker, Head of Recreation and Community Engagement for the Forestry Commission said, “I am delighted that Moors Valley Country Park has received this accreditation. This award is a fantastic endorsement of the 25 years of partnership management of Moors Valley Country Park between the Forestry Commission and East Dorset District Council. It reflects the consistent commitment of staff over the past two decades in providing excellent service for the public and innovation in recreation and countryside management.

“Not all sites calling themselves country parks currently deliver all the core facilities and services expected of them, but we’re delighted that Moors Valley Country Park has been recognised for setting such a high standard.”
