Location
Access
Start from Pamphill First School at the south end of Pamphill Green. There is a good parking area beside it.To access the meadow, walk round the front of the school, leaving it on your left, and cross the first stile in the hedge.
Pamphill Avenue, which you drive down to reach the school. About the site
Although officially called Pamphill Moor it is not moorland of the heather and gorse type. It is a gently sloping rough meadow, bounded by deciduous trees and a stream.
Immediately adjoining Pamphill Moor there is a patch of ancient woodland called Hart’s Copse, where there is usually a fine display of early spring flowers such as Wood Anemones.
This is an easy walk, as there are National Trust circular routes round the meadow and round Hart’s Copse, though the latter path is a little trickier. Both areas can be very wet underfoot. The whole route, even including Hart’s Copse, takes under an hour.
Pamphill Moor is part of the National Trust's Kingston Lacy Estate.
