About The Location

The Isle of Purbeck is a peninsula in Dorset which is bordered by water on three sides: the English Channel to the south and east, where steep cliffs fall to the sea; and by the marshy lands of the River Frome and Poole Harbour to the north. Locations cover a range of villages and towns including Lulworth, Corfe, Wareham, Worth Matravers, Kimmeridge Bay and Studland.   

This property is located in the desirable town of Swanage, which affords a good selection of local amenities, restaurants and Blue Flag beaches with an abundance of local points of interest including the historic Swanage Railway, nearby Golf Clubs, walking and coastal activities.   

Swanage is the most easterly town on the Jurassic Coast, and its gently sloping sandy beaches and sheltered waters have made it a popular destination for families since Victorian era. Despite being just six miles from the urban towns of Poole and Bournemouth, Swanage feels a world away, and retains a sense of bustling seaside charm. The beach also holds the prestigious blue flag for beach cleanliness. Did you know Swanage has been flying the Blue Flag for nearly 22 years and won an award in 2021, which are only awarded to well-managed beaches with excellent water quality.

The iconic chalk stacks of Old Harry Rocks are a three-mile walk north east along the South West Coast Path, while Durlston Head is a short walk to the south. From here there are spectacular views of the Jurassic Coast extending westwards, with the Isle of Wight visible on the horizon.

Durlston Country Park is a fabulous 280 acre countryside paradise with stunning walks and a plethora local of wildlife. The visitor centre at Durlston Castle, within the park, features a superb introduction to the Jurassic Coast, created with the support of the Jurassic Coast Trust. The town also has a thriving events calendar, with a variety of walking, railway events and other highlights including hugely popular jazz and folk music festivals.
