What to do and see in Swanage, England: The Best Museums

December 4, 2021 Chanda Heide

Swanage was a popular seaside resort in Victorian times, and families today continue to enjoy its shallow, calm beach. The recently restored Swanage Pier is a popular spot for fishing. Diving trips and boat tours also depart from here. Don’t miss a trip through the local countryside on the Swanage Steam Railway.

I have been a fan of Gina Marshall’s work after buying a print of Clavell Tower. I was delighted to meet with Gina to discuss a commission, and left her warm and welcoming shop with an original of Kimmeridge Bay and a handful of cards.
