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, picturesque villages such as West Lulworth and the market town of Wareham, Purbeck is the perfect place to visit at any time of year.

The area’s unspoiled natural beauty offers wonderful walking and a breathtaking setting for 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, a wealth of attractions include Monkey World, The Tank Museum and Farmer Palmers. 

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

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

We look forward to seeing you here soon!
