Swanage Coastal Wander

At last the sun is shining and managed to get the first sun tan of the year. A trip to the picturesque town of Swanage down on the Isle Of Purbeck with my brother Dan. Swanage is a small town but packs a lot in especially if you take in the scenic walks around the coast line. Just on this small trip we saw a wandering pirate, murals on a derelict building, a superb piece of street art by my good buddy Dare and his friend Bonzai in the local skatepark. The Swanage lighthouse, the brilliant named Tilly Whim Caves, Durlston castle and the most serene and blissful sea views.
To add to that you get some diverse architecture, ranging from modern design that wouldn’t look out of place on the Mediterranean to some very quirky and grand victorian buildings.

There are also a few left over gun placements from WW2 up at Peveril Point next to the National Coastwatch Institution Lookout building. The point is also home to the Swanage lifeboat organisation.

Still missing Streylock like crazy and it’s been hard to get motivated to get out there but it has been really brilliant to be spending some quality time with my good brother Dan and it has helped to get that buzz back again.

Will be going again sometime and will fill in the gaps which were missed. Plus next time we will go more prepared with provisions so we can walk on further.

Hope you like the pictures. Fill free to tell me of places of interest to see.
All the best
