Old Harry Rocks

Catch the early morning ferry across to the Isle of Purbeck. View Old Harry Rocks, the starting point of the Jurassic Coast, England’s only natural UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take in breath-taking views across Poole Harbour and towards Brownsea Island. By mid morning you will arrive at Durlston Country Park. Visit the brand new Jurassic Coast visitor center housed in the recently refurbished Durlston Castle. There’s time for a morning coffee stop overlooking the famous Great Globe and a chance to take the cliff top walk along to Tilly Whim Caves and the Anvil Point Lighthouse. For every visitor brought to Durlston Country Park, a contribution towards a bursary that helps to support their volunteer programme is made. Heading west drive through some of the tiny lanes and villages that give Purbeck its unique character. Take lunch in the village of Corfe Castle, dominated by the ruins that give it its name. Entrance to the castle itself not included (Free to NT members). After lunch take a gentle drive along the coast taking in more stunning scenery as you head for an afternoon at Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Walk down to Man o’ War Rocks and view the magnificent rock arch of Durdle Door, hewn from the Portland limestone beds. Finally, head down to Lulworth Cove and see the famous Lulworth Crumple rock formation in Stair Hole.

Embark on a journey through 185 million years of history on a cruise from Poole Harbour to Swanage and back. Pass landmarks such as the Sandbanks Peninsula, Brownsea Island, and Studland Bay. Experience breathtaking panoramas of sky, sea, sand, and chalk formations. See Old Harry Rock, said to be named after a notorious pirate, Harry Paye. With many sights to see on the way, you are guaranteed to not miss a thing as the Captain provides you with live commentary there and back. Enjoy the views from the open deck seating or comfortable saloons and truly relax with a beverage or two from the fully licensed bar on board.
