Swanage Railway Swanage Railway at Corfe Castle
Swanage steam railway seems to get the most votes from our guests. It is a great way to visit Corfe Castle or you can use it to do a one way walk and get the train back.
However some just love the train for what it is, an authentic and lovingly restored working steam railway. we are looking forward to the line being extended to Wareham and fully connecting with South West trains |

Corfe Castle Corfe Castle, Dorset
Corfe Castle is probably the most famous image of Purbeck, if not the whole of Dorset. The village website tells you all about how to make the most of a day at Corfe Castle.

Monkey World
Monkey World is another top class day out. Monkey World is near Wool, Dorset. It is an ape rescue centre that allows you to go and see the monkeys and learn about the fantastic work they do.
The Monkey World website explains it better than we can |
Tank Museum Bovington Tank Museum, Dorset
Bovington Tank Museum is a lot better than you might expect. They tell a story from the first tanks in the First World War right through to the latest conflict in Afghanistan. It is mostly indoors, so Bovington Tank Musuem is a slam dunk success when it rains as well.
