Isle of Purbeck Essentials

The Isle of Purbeck, a peninsula on the Jurassic Coast, features the iconic chalk stacks of Old Harry Rocks and the 11th-century ruins of Corfe Castle. This selection includes the ghost village of Tyneham, abandoned during WWII, and the Victorian-era Durlston Castle. Natural highlights range from the sandy Studland Beach to the limestone cliffs of Winspit and the panoramic views from Swyre Head, the region's highest point.
