Swanage
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.
