YOUR LOCAL HOLIDAY GUIDE
Things to do in Swanage
Swanage Pier
A pier stroll offers a different viewpoint over the bay. Check visitor arrangements and conditions before combining it with a longer walk along the front.
Heritage railway
Swanage Railway makes the journey itself part of a day out. Look at the timetable before choosing a departure and deciding how long to spend away from town.
Durlston
Durlston Country Park brings coastal paths, the castle and Great Globe into another outing. Choose a route for its surface and distance, rather than simply following the longest trail.
Local shops, food & places to browse
Browse the town between beach visits and look for a meal or picnic supplies. Check what is available near your park if you want an evening without another trip into the centre.
Planning your holiday in Swanage
Routes across Purbeck can take longer than their distance suggests. Plan one main outing at a time and allow room for traffic or a change in weather.
Choosing where to stay
Choose the park for its actual connection to Swanage. A destination image of the pier does not establish a sea view or walking route from the caravan.
Before you book, check the advert’s address, sleeping arrangements, park facilities and any extra charges with the owner. Use the search filters for features such as decking, a hot tub or a washing machine, and park facilities such as a pool or clubhouse.
