• Day 4: Poole and Swanage

  Today we visit Poole, a bustling resort known for being the home of Europe’s largest natural harbour. We also visit Swanage, home to a lovely, sandy beach and lots of attractions, such as the Swanage Museum which tells the story of the area from the Jurrasic period to WWII. Up to the early 19th century, Swanage was a small fishing port, however the arrival of the railway meant it developed as a seaside resort and it retains much of its Victorian elegance today.
