About

Insight Activities Dorset is the leading outdoor adventure provider in the New Forest and Dorset, renowned for its award‑winning experiences that blend historic skills with natural scenery. At the heart of the offerings is the highly popular Medieval Trio, a 2½‑hour session that combines woodland archery, crossbow shooting and axe throwing in a single adventure. Each activity is guided by friendly, knowledgeable instructors who adapt the experience to all ages, from 6‑year‑old archery beginners to 12‑plus axe‑throwers. Beyond archery and axe throwing, visitors can challenge themselves with crossbow shooting, bushcraft courses that teach fire‑lighting and knife skills, or the immersive 3D archery and full‑day bushcraft sessions. All equipment is top‑quality and fully maintained, and the woodland setting offers a tranquil, family‑friendly backdrop. The centre has earned Tripadvisor Traveller’s Choice awards from 2016 to 2025, reflecting its commitment to great value, expert instruction and memorable outdoor activities. Pre‑booking is essential and recommended for busy periods to secure a spot with your preferred guide.
