Kids Days Out In Swanage

Swanage is a sheltered seaside town on the Isle of Purbeck, with a sandy beach that shelves gently and suits younger children. The Swanage Railway runs steam trains up the line towards Corfe Castle and is often the highlight of a visit. Durlston Country Park above the town has clifftop paths, a Victorian stone globe and good spots for watching seabirds. Burngate Stone Carving Centre lets children try carving Purbeck stone, Chococo makes chocolate on site, and there is pitch and putt near the seafront for a relaxed hour.
