👍👍 Swanage is a beautiful seaside town. It has a small sandy beach and is surrounded by fantastic countryside. Take a walk to Peveril Point and look back at the bay and Old Harry Rocks for spectacular coastal views.

Peveril Point
Tourist attraction
👍👍 A fantastic viewpoint looking out to sea, along the rugged coast, views across the Jurassic Coast and into Swanage. Very quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The coast watch station is here, a few benches and a grassy area suitable for a picnic. Venturing to sea level via two routes, the ambitious slope re...

Isle of Purbeck Golf Club
Golf club
👍👍 I first played this fantastic course around 35 years ago and yesterday with the strong winds, bright sunshine, and drizzle in the 4 1/2 hour round, with best views of any golf course I have ever played, I could not believe the quality of the fairways, rough or greens. The day was completed with grea...

Putlake Adventure Farm
Children's farm
👍👍 Very nice farm and soft play area. £10 for each adult and child (free under 2), but worth the money if you go to the farm and spend enough time there. For soft play alone, would be overpriced; a pity they don't do tariffs for soft play alone with an option to upgrade later.

Agglestone Rock
Historical landmark
👍👍 I was sceptical at first....what’s so great about a big old lump of stone on a hill??...plus how can such a sizeable lump of rock remain unseen despite walking regularly in the Purbecks for nearly fifty years??
So we decided to solve the mystery and visit Agglestone for the first time on a bitingly...

National Trust - Spyway
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Do I need to mention this is something truly incredible to see?!?
Directions could be clearer on how to get to the place by car, and I saw this point was already raised by several people… so I will just say I agree with them.
I also agree that there should be more caring for this site to ensure pres...

The Obelisk
Scenic spot
👍👍 I don't usually give 5 stars to a simple landmark. There is more to it than just the Obelisk. It stands between 2 of my favorite Dorset places, Poole and Swanage! Amazing view. But you gotta be there to see what I mean.
