Studland Bay

Visit Swanage

Stretching for four magnificent miles from the Sandbanks Chain Ferry to the iconic Old Harry Rocks, Studland Bay is a vast National Trust nature reserve featuring some of the most beautiful, unspoiled sandy beaches in the UK. Backed by wild heathland and rolling dunes, this spectacular stretch of coastline offers four distinct beach areas, each with its own unique atmosphere and facilities.

Old Harry Rocks

Visit Swanage

Marking the easternmost point of the spectacular Jurassic Coast, Old Harry Rocks are iconic white chalk sea stacks rising dramatically from the ocean. Accessible via a highly scenic coastal walk from Studland village, these brilliant white cliffs offer breathtaking views stretching back to Sandbanks, Bournemouth, and across to the Isle of Wight.

Compton Acres

Visit Poole

Recognized as one of the most important historic gardens in England, Compton Acres offers ten acres of spectacular, themed horticultural beauty dating back to the 1920s. From the tranquil koi ponds of the Japanese Garden to the classical elegance of the Italian Garden, it is a breathtaking and peaceful escape just moments from the beach.

Corfe Castle

Visit Wareham

Rising dramatically above the Purbeck countryside, Corfe Castle is a thousand-year-old royal fortress that survived the English Civil War only to be partially demolished from within. Today, its iconic jagged ruins offer a breathtaking journey back in time, providing panoramic views across the Dorset landscape and the charming stone village below.
