Location

Peveril Point is a striking headland on the southeastern edge of the popular seaside town of Swanage. Renowned for its dramatic limestone cliffs and sweeping views of Swanage Bay and the Jurassic Coast, it offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and geological significance.

The surrounding area is an absolute haven for nature lovers. Durlston Country Park is well worth a visit, boasting coastal trails that provide opportunities to observe seabirds, wildflowers, and the rugged charm of the coastline. Dcp is also home to the iconic Durlston Castle, a visitor centre, and the great historic globe. Inside the centre is where you will find the Seventhwave café, a wonderful lunch spot overlooking the vast ocean. The park offers a membership and is only a 6-minute drive away (for those who are keen to walk, a trip by foot is just under a mile (0.7mi / 1.12km)).

Swanage is the closest town which affords a good selection of local amenities, restaurants and Blue Flag beaches with an abundance of local points of interest including the historic Swanage Railway, nearby Golf Clubs, walking and coastal activities. Many events are held within the close community, with a variety of railway events and other highlights including the hugely popular summer carnival plus jazz, blues and folk music festivals.

The town sits to the east on the Jurassic Coast and its gently sloping sandy beaches and sheltered waters have made it a popular destination for families since Victorian era. Despite being just six miles from the urban Towns of Poole and Bournemouth, this popular place feels a world away and retains a sense of bustling seaside charm. The beach holds the prestigious blue flag for beach cleanliness. Did you know Swanage has been flying the Blue Flag for nearly 22 years and won an award in 2021, these are only awarded to well managed beaches with excellent water quality.

The iconic chalk stacks of Old Harry Rocks are a three-mile walk northeast along the Southwest Coast Path, while Durlston Head is a short walk to the south. From here there are spectacular views of the Jurassic Coast extending westwards, with the Isle of Wight visible on the horizon.
