I love Swanage and went there loads as a kid.


Not sure what the usual recommendations would be?


Cliff walk to Worth Matravers is good but I guess you already know that ... Nice little pub there which often has live music. Ale and pies and a tiny museum at the back.


Corfe castle. You can get a steam train from Swanage to Corfe (and back). It's fun and the people who run it are lovely.


Weymouth (prejudiced as my mum was from Weymouth). Lovely beach and harbour.


Lulworth Cove (but gets very crowded). Durdle Door, just a short walk from Lulworth Cove.


Will think of more in the morning:)


Swannery at Abbotsbury is wonderful but can't remember how near it is to Swanage.


Upwey Wishing Well ditto. Fantastic gardens and a lovely little tea room.

Maiden castle well known but always fabulous for a walk esp early morning/evening (also great for a run). If you?re feeling adventurous there?s a barrow in a nearby field...


The blue pool near wareham



Preston beach east of Weymouth for a swim away from the Weymouth crowds or swim off the Nothe?

Walk to Durlston Castle from Swanage near the pier. It?s about a twenty minutes or so scenic walk. You get to see Tilly Whim caves, The Globe, Castle and bay. It?s stunning. https://www.durlston.co.uk/

We also got an open top bus from outside Swanage Train Station and you get to go on the car ferry and take in views from Sandbanks, Studlands, Poole and Bournemouth.

We also took a boat from Swanage Pier to Poole, got to see Old Harry?s Rock and lots of activities on water.


Durdle Door is a must but wear proper walking boots as the incline going up and down to Durdle Door is a bit of a killer on the legs/feet.

This is probably too late,but the ferry between Studland and Poole is closed.


It needs a spare part which will take 23 weeks to arrive, according to Swanage information centre.


Oh, and the best fish and chips are at the appallingly named The Fish Plaice, almost opposite the Ship Inn.


Enormous pieces of delicious fish, crispy chips, friendly service, and they tell you the name of the boat it was caught in :)

Indeed it is, but apparently that's the case, and the lack of the ferry is causing massive inconvenience to many people :(


Plus presumably the ferry people have no work :(

      Gazundering!

      By diable rouge · Posted

      It's certainly a risky strategy, as well as ticking everyone off, the gazunderer risks losing the property and also their costs incurred during the process e.g. legal & survey. It's hard to mitigate against but I always think that if you're desperate to sell, don't ever convey that  to your estate agent, as that info more than likely gets passed on to potential buyers. You should be doing that regardless of whether gazundering is happening or not, as it will affect the offers you receive... That's correct. Some agents have policies in place to 'discourage' gazundering and gazumping, but ultimately it comes down to the morals of the buyer...

      Found: double bike trailer

      By Sue · Posted

      The owner may not be on this forum. Maybe you should let the police know you have it, in case the owner has reported it as stolen? Also, are you sure the owner hadn't just left it there temporarily while going into their house, or putting their bike away or getting it out? What street was it in?

      Chilli & Garlic - Recommendation

      By the_hermit · Posted

      For these places to be good they have to be mega efficient: high volume high speed like the one in Camberwell next to Stormbird.  If you can't hit that sort of tipping point you end up having to cut corners and you enter a sort of death spiral.  The one at the south end of Lordship Lane near Joseph's is fairly hopeless.
