Local attractions

There are heaps of walks that that lead from Woodyhyde Campsite around the Purbeck countryside or along the spectacular Jurassic coastline and the South West Coast Path, and the nearby golden sandy beaches of Studland and Swanage provide plenty of options for water-based activities such as boating, diving and fishing. Visit the ruins of Corfe Castle, 20 minutes' walk away, or hop on a heritage steam locomotive at nearby Harmans Cross to take a six-mile scenic trip on Swanage Railway, passing the castle ruins and finishing at Swanage. Take the kids out on a day trip to visit rescue chimpanzees at Monkey World Centre; see the collection of tanks and armoured fighting vehicles at the Tank Museum; or pet animals at Putlake Adventure Farm.
