Swanage Hotels England Cheap Swanage Hotels Guide

An unrelenting strip of sandy beach and a traditional seaside atmosphere have helped Swanage become one of the most popular resorts on Dorset's south coast. Situated on the Isle of Purbeck (actually a peninsula) it stands as the eastern gateway to the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site and one of the country's natural wonders. Its official beginnings are marked by the jagged chalk cliffs of the Old Harry Rocks just north of town; but beautiful scenery exists all around (including one of Britain's best beaches at Studland Bay). The town itself still bustles with all the energy brought by its Victorian regeneration, aided now by an interesting selection of shops, the ubiquitous floral displays, and the classic 100-year-old-plus wooden pier. Many of the buildings are constructed with the local Purbeck marble (which was also exported to London by the boat load), including the ornate 17th-century town hall, designed by Christopher Wren. The immediate environment is home to a whole bunch of historical attractions, all easily reachable via varying methods of transport. Walking is an option if visiting Durlston Country Park, a 280-acre nature reserve that also houses Durlston Castle. The 11th-century Corfe Castle, on the other hand (named as one of the most evocative ruined fortresses in England) is just a short steam train trip away... followed by a brief stroll up its hill of course!
