We are in the middle of Purbeck's Jurassic Coast, a listed area of Natural Outstanding Beauty. Everything on your doorstep from Townsend Nature Reserve (5 minutes up the hill) to Durlston Head where the magnificent lighthouse is situated, then you can either take the coastal path to Dancing Ledge and on to Worth Matravers where you will find the famous Square and Compass pub, this is a truly unspoiled traditional pub overlooking the sea, it is very rustic with a serving hatch, barrels of beer behind hatch, a wide cider menu, pasties on a paper plate only food available. There are no fruit machines, pool table, tv's, juke boxes! It also has a Fossil Museum. Another lovely place to visit is the Scott Arms at Kingston with its stunning garden views over Corfe Castle, they have a good food reputation and also often have an outside Jerk Shack food bar. There is of course Corfe Castle itself, you can take the Swanage Steam Train to this. Near by there are also Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove to visit. If you turn left from the lighthouse towards Durlston Castle then it will take you back into Swanage via The Downs. If you travel further towards Sandbanks through Studland there are miles of quiet unspoilt National Trust beaches. You can also travel on to Sandbanks, Poole and Bournmouth via the Chain Ferry. An absolutely fabulous place to have a meal or a glass of wine is Shell Bay Restaurant and Bar, next to the ferry - it offers amazing views (see photo). Our home has great views over the Bay and of the Purbeck Hills and is close walking distance to Swanage, you won't necessarily need to take the car. Our home is just off the High St so you don't get the late night noises of people 'strolling home'. Two minutes down the road is our wonderful local pub/restaurant (The Black Swan) which serves delicious food (although it is best to book as they get very busy). Also to be found is a very good Chinese take away just around the corner. There are of course a choice of fish and chips shops. There is also a lovely old stone church and Mill pond just down the hill. Please note if there are any accidents there is a cottage hospital just literally around the corner, but it is not a 24 hr/ out of hours hospital.
