Welcome to the official tourism information website for Swanage & Purbeck, a region of stunning coastal and country landscapes. 

With the traditional seaside resort of Swanage, outstanding sandy beaches, the market town of Wareham and picturesque villages such as Lulworth, Purbeck is the perfect place to explore at any time of the year.

The area’s unspoiled natural beauty offers wonderful walking and a breathtaking setting for a fascinating heritage – Corfe Castle is just one of the many historical places of interest.  Purbeck is also the eastern gateway to the Jurassic Coast, England’s only natural World Heritage Site – the unique formations of Durdle Door and Stairhole at Lulworth Cove reveal millions of years of the earth’s history. 

For the family, there is a wealth of attractions such as Monkey World, The Tank Museum and Farmer Palmers. 

Located in the south-east of Dorset near Bournemouth, Purbeck is easy to get to and has excellent train links from London and the South East.

We have a wide range of accommodation from high quality hotels and B&Bs, cosy cottages to caravan and camping parks in the heart of the countryside; you can try the local food and drink in the cosy pubs and welcoming restaurants.

We look forward to seeing you here soon!
