May 8, 2025,kleine Küstenwanderung Spyway bei Swanage
Another destination on our excursion today on the Purbeck Peninsula was the coast around Swanage.
We chose the Langton Matravors coastline, which is owned by the National Trust.
Purbeck marble was once quarried here. Dancing Ledge is part of the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site. In addition to the sometimes spectacular coastline, there are many seabirds here.
