Today the cosy town of Swanage is a busy holiday resort with  a marvellous bay of yellow sands the beach is ideal for bathing. The white cliffs are flanked by downs grand for walking and views. It is about the only place between Poole and Weymouth where you can get your car right next to a good beach. Various watersports are catered for around the area

The oldest and most attractive part of the town is about a quarter of a mile inland off the high street, round Mill Pool and St.Mary's Church, which is mainly Victorian, but whose tower was perhaps originally a fort, began by the Anglo Saxons. The Victorian influence is very strong as they were responsible for developing the town from a small fishing village.

The restored Steam Railway now takes visitors on a six mile journey to Corfe Castle, a journey Enid Blyton would have recognised as she stayed several times in the town and included several locations in her well known children's adventure books.
