Diving trips and boat tours also depart from here. Don’t miss a trip through the local countryside on the Swanage Steam Railway.

Dancing Ledge

Reviewed By nbxprez - London, United Kingdom

This is a must-see place to visit if you are in the area. If you're walking the Jurassic Coast, spare an hour to walk down to the old quarry and admire the scenery. If you are up to scrambling down to the wave-cut platform (and up again) you can brave a dip in the pool. Otherwise grab a suitable rock to sit and take a breather. For those who want a shorter walk, you can drive to Langton Matravers and head to Spyway where there is an NT carpark (pay and display). It's a 40 minute stroll past the barn. Follow the signs for 'Dancing Ledge'. The return leg is quite steep but manageable.
