Durlston Country Park

BH19 2JL
No reviews yet

Two hundred and eighty acres of clifftop downland and National Nature Reserve above Swanage, with the Victorian Great Globe and a castle turned visitor centre and cafe. Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the Castle, the visitor centre and the cafe as long as they are on a short lead, and there are water bowls outside the Castle and Learning Centre. The park asks that dogs stay on the paths, and sells dog treats and ice cream in the shop.

Swanage Railway

BH19 1HB
No reviews yet

Preserved steam line running six miles from Swanage through Corfe Castle to Norden, one of the best ways to see Purbeck without a car. Dogs travel free, but must be kept on a lead and remain on the floor. They are not allowed in the buffets, on the dining trains or on the Santa Specials.
