    Tips

    Cycling

    It's a bit of a climb from Old Harry Rocks - but well worth it. Enjoy the descent down to Swanage (front suspension recommended!)

    Hiking

    Gazing south from the ridge, Swanage appears nestled within its limestone bowl. The emerald valley rolls toward the blue bay, where the Victorian town meets the sea, framed perfectly by the towering Purbeck Hills.
