Swanage Attractions

There is plenty to see and do in the local area during your Christmas Break in Swanage. Whilst the town is quieter at this time of year, many attractions remain open with themed activities for families to enjoy. The Blue Pool in nearby Furzebrook will have a Christmas Grotto throughout December and Swanage Railway will be running their popular Polar Express Experience. Durlston Country Park is also open and Corfe Castle is always a great day out.

If attractions aren’t your thing, don’t worry, there’s plenty of natural beauty spots to enjoy nearby. From our park you can easily walk to Old Harry Rocks and Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove are only a short drive away. December is one of the best times of year to enjoy a scenic walk along one of the picturesque beaches in the area (many of which are dog friendly during the winter months). There’s nothing better than wrapping up warm and enjoying a bracing walk, before retreating to a country pub for a warming hot chocolate or locally brewed beer!

What our guests say

  • A lovely quiet site

    Andy Blackwell

    A lovely quiet site, nice warm amenities with good sized shower cubicles, shop not open yet as it’s too early but the local pub is ideal. Staff were very friendly and helpful. If you’re reasonably fit you can walk into Swanage but the bus service is great so why would you want to. Overall a very nice break, we will be back.

  • Super swimming pool

    Joseph Molford

    We have just returned after a brilliant Easter break. Couldn’t fault anything at all and we didn’t want to leave. We didn’t visit the pub but the shop is stocked with local produce and essentials. The facilities are great and the location convenient. Our van was spotless and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back
