We love the Purbecks and walk or cycle with family and friends in the area most weekends. For us, we can reach areas of calm and unspoilt beauty quickly and easily, and still be home in time for tea!
We were keen to buy a property in Swanage because, not only are the coast and countryside right on the doorstep, but also Swanage has all the conveniences we require and more. We love to take what is literally a one minute stroll to Love Cake on the High Street for a cappuccino or to walk on to Gee Whites open-air seafood restaurant for prawns and 'fizz'. We have found Swanage to be a really friendly town with loads going on throughout the year. The Folk Festival is really fun, Purbeck Arts Week (PAW) is well worth a visit and New Year's Eve showcases some inspirational fancy dress outfits!
