Exploring ten powerful exhibitions, you will come face to face with almost 300 armoured vehicles. This unique collection includes the world’s first ever tank, the feared German Tiger and the modern Challenger 2. There are special events going on throughout the year at The Tank Museum including TANKFEST, Tiger Day and the Vintage Christmas Festival and Craft Fayre, as well as special activity programmes during the School Holidays.”

“Ghost village which was taken over by the M.O.D. during the war. Fabulous walk from the village down to the bay. Only open at weekends and holidays as it is in the firing ranges of the Lulworth Military Camp. Advice is to check before you visit”

“Unique sightseeing place between Studland and Swanage. Amazing views all round.”

“Whether you’re looking for a fossil or like to surf and all that’s in between, Kimmeridge is a must see. It is not far from the cottage and is worth a visit, they also have a museum on Jurassic marine life.”

“Enjoy this unique location and stare out to the sea, enjoy a meal in the cafe or go for a walk along the South West Coast Path”

“Chapmans Pool to Houns Tout Distance: 3.5 miles A hilly 3.5 mile walk along good tracks with stunning views of the Jurassic Coast.”

“Very interesting beach with wonderful fossils. The Etches fossil collection museum is in the village. Very popular restaurant nearby. ”

“This beautiful village is steeped in history, with one of England’s most iconic castle ruins. It is quaint and picturesque and you may be lucky to stay when there is an event on at the castle which can be anything from a medieval day, to an outdoor cinema evening under the stars. Just up the road from here is also an outdoor inflatable water obstacle course, lots of fun for the family.”

“5 mins up the road you will see Hamworthy Library. If you need to print any documents out, rent out books or DVD's or simply want to go in there to read the daily newspaper then this is the place. They also serve delicious homemade cake!”
