The plantation is characterized by its dense and mature forest, predominantly comprised of native tree species such as oak, beech, and hazel.

The woodland floor is adorned with carpets of bluebells, wood anemones, and wild garlic during spring, creating a breathtaking display of colors and scents. The diverse ecosystem supports a plethora of wildlife, from small mammals like rabbits and squirrels to various bird species such as woodpeckers and owls. If lucky, visitors may even spot deer roaming through the plantation.

The woodland offers a network of well-maintained footpaths and trails, allowing visitors to explore its beauty at their leisure. The quiet and peaceful atmosphere makes it an ideal destination for nature walks, photography, and birdwatching. With its stunning natural surroundings and abundant wildlife, Bully Plantation is a true gem within Dorset's landscape, attracting nature enthusiasts and those seeking solace in the great outdoors.
