Corfe Castle to Swanage with Steam Train

This is a 8 mile hike along the beautiful Purbeck coast in Dorset. Starting at Corfe Castle, we'll work our way through pretty farmland before reaching the coast and following it  to Swanage. There's some nice things to see along the way including quarries, pretty villages and of course the Jurassic coast.

Walk to Swanage and take a train back to Corfe Castle. This is a 8miles walking starting at Corfe Castle through a dramatic landscape rich in history, on paths and tracks that have been used by feet and wheels for many thousands of years. From the earliest days of life on earth, dinosaur footprints have been found here; while evidence of human habitation dates back to almost as far as the end of the last Ice Age. Travelling around the edges of a white landscape scarred from extensive quarrying, the route passes many fascinating features before it arrives in Swanage. Look out for dolphins and porpoises!

This is a linear walk and we'll get  the steam train back to Corfe, so make sure you book your Steam Train tickets in advance to guarantee a place. In alternative to that you can get a bus.
