More than 50 residents took part in the first Talbot Village Heritage Trail.
The event, organised by the Talbot Village Trust, saw people of all ages exploring local heritage sites and appreciating the area's biodiversity.
Bournemouth West MP Jessica Toale joined the walk, which included an Augmented Wildlife Experiences trail developed by Bournemouth University students and academics.
The event started at 1pm and concluded at Slades Farm Pavilion at 3.30pm, where attendees enjoyed refreshments.
Ms Toale said: "It was fantastic to see so many residents, young and old, come together to celebrate the incredible history and natural beauty that makes Talbot Village so special.
"I was impressed with the enthusiasm and curiosity everyone showed and learned a lot more about the area from the historical society and people whose families have lived in the village for generations.
"The Talbot sisters' vision for the area remains inspiring even today.
"This event was a chance to rekindle our sense of community and enjoy the benefits of the beautiful woodlands in our town."
Martha Searle, community and engagement lead at Talbot Village Trust, said: "It was a fantastic opportunity to reacquaint with old friends and meet lots of new ones and to celebrate the beautiful natural space available on our doorstep."
