CANFORD HEATH

A SSSI near Yaffle Hill. A special area of conservation.

Access

Yaffle Hill is a small and privately owned block of heathland on the outskirts of Poole which forms part of a much larger tract of heath owned by the Borough of Poole. The property is a site of Special Scientific Interest and it is also a special area of conservation. The heath is being managed primarily to enhance its very high value for nature conservation and it is therefore not a suitable site for casual recreation. Horse riding and cycling are not permitted and dogs must be kept on leads at all times.
