Sightseeing

This National Trust 1000 year old royal castle is world famous and makes for a glorious day out with lots to learn of our past. Afterwards, why don't you hop on the old stream train and grab some fish & chips in the sea side town of Swanage.

With clear blue waters and white sands you could be mistaken for being in the Caribbean. Walk the dog or stay a little longer in the sunshine - don't go too far as you will reach the nudie bit (or do- no judgement here!). Finish the day with a little stroll up the hill to The Pig On The Beach for a G&T and take a final look at the stunning Studland bay views.

The most famous and well pictured hill in Dorset - Gold Hill. Enjoy this quaint and idyllic village. It would be rude not to find the time and stop for a cream tea and maybe pick up a loaf of bread (it is famous for the Hovis advert)

Take a tour of this global award winning vineyard and sample the most delicious sparkling wine that the UK offers (just a little biased). If wine is not your thing then grab a bite to eat at their cafe. They have great evening events too.
