Sightseeing
Praia Naturista de Studland
Iconic small rustic pub in Worth Matravers, very good beer, often mentioned as pub of the year.
Occasional musical evenings, but if you go in the daytime there are marvelous walks to and from there.
Not to be missed.
Also has a small fossil museum, as the owner is an expert in this field.
Set in the heart of The Purbeck Quarries
- hence the name -
