Location and how to get there
Postcode for directions: BH20 5DU
Hartland Stud’s located just off the A351 between Wareham and Corfe Castle – almost directly opposite the Halfway Inn pub.
Turn into Soldier’s Road, where you’ll pass Lenctenbury Farm on your left (which is an excellent spot for fruit-picking in the Sumer, its pumpkin patch at Halloween, and high-quality, non-drop Christmas tree in late November/early December).
Hartland’s heathland with fantastic walking routes flank the road either side, and the entrance to both Hartland Stud and Camp Hartland is just a few hundred metres down Soldier’s Road on your left.
You can also approach from the opposite direction via Arne Road.
