4.5 miles
Another beautiful day
We started in Swanage and walked past the pier
The 1895 pier and the stumps of the 1859 pier
The lifeboat returning. Old Harry Rocks behind. Bournemouth on the right
At Peveril Point look out
We will walk to that point next
Looking back
Path through the woods made in Victorian times, with several benches looking out to sea
Peveril Point where the look out was
Durlston Castle 1886-7, built for George Burt
The castle is now a visitor centre
The Great Globe
Next stop the light house
Tilly Whim Caves – stone quarried here was lowered into barges, taken to Swanage and then onto London. Geroge Burt’s wealth came from here
We could see the cliffs of the Isle of Wight
Anvil Point Lighthouse
We then walked inland back to Swanage
The Mill Pond was the centre of the original fishing village at Swanage
Purbeck House was built for George Burt
The front of the Town Hall was brought from London by George Burt
He also brought the Wellington Clock Tower from London, minus the clock, and it never had a statue of Wellington!
These ionic columns came from London too
