Coronation Clump is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Dorset, England. Situated near the village of Powerstock, the clump is part of the larger Crown Estate Forest known as Powerstock Common. The woodland covers an area of approximately 20 acres and is characterized by a dense mixture of broadleaf trees such as oak, beech, and ash.

The name "Coronation Clump" has historical significance as it was planted to commemorate the coronation of King George VI in 1937. The clump is marked by a stone plaque, which serves as a reminder of this important event in British history.

The woodland offers a serene and tranquil environment for visitors, making it a popular spot for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and photographers. The forest floor is covered in a carpet of bluebells during the springtime, creating a breathtaking sight. The diverse array of flora and fauna within Coronation Clump makes it an ideal habitat for various bird species, including woodpeckers and nuthatches.

Visitors can explore the clump via well-maintained footpaths that wind through the trees, providing opportunities for leisurely walks and an escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The woodland also offers a picnic area, allowing visitors to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings.

Coronation Clump, with its rich history and natural beauty, is a hidden gem in Dorset, offering a peaceful retreat for those seeking solace in nature.
