The Local Area

A Warm Welcome to the Delights of Dorset

Swanage is set in an area of great natural beauty and retains much of the charm of its Victorian heritage. It is an ideal location for the discerning visitor at any time of the year. The surrounding area offers great variety, from the medieval history of Corfe Castle and its hinterland of Hardy’s "Wessex", to the major cosmopolitan resort of nearby Bournemouth.

Local Events >>
    

Corfe Castle, scene of murder, siege, and treachery. Take a trip to Corfe on the Swanage Steam Railway – a great day out! Swanage, with its delightful bay and safe sandy beach, hosts a sailing regatta and carnival in Midsummer.

Durdle Door is a spectacular arch formed over many centuries by nature’s elements and lies a short but spectacular walk westward of the famous Lulworth Cove.
