There's much to see and do in Dorset, with its unspoiled natural beauty – stunning coastline, rolling hills, forests and golden sandy beaches. The amazing features of the Jurassic coast – Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove and the Fossil Forest are not to be missed. The South West coast path is a walker's paradise and the area abounds with cycle routes both gentle and challenging. Poole Harbour is superb for sailing and boating. There are numerous nearby places of interest and National Trust treasures like Kingston Lacy, Corfe Castle, Studland Nature Reserve, Brownsea Island, Hardy's cottage and Clouds Hill. The RSPB centre at Arne is a joy for birdwatchers. As well as glorious sandy beaches with safe swimming, children can enjoy Weymouth Sea Life Adventure Park, Monkey World, Swanage Steam Railway, Dorset Water Park, Poole Pottery, Kimmeridge Jurassic Marine Life Museum, Tower Park, as well as riding stables, children's farms and much more. With the seaside resorts of Weymouth, Poole, Swanage and Bournemouth easily accessible, the list is endless. The small market town of Wareham is ideally placed to explore all of this.
The Saturday Wareham market has fresh local produce, there's a wholefood shop, a zero waste shop, an Italian bakery, lots of eateries, coffee shops, tea rooms and pubs. There is fresh local fish from the Salt Pig all week, and quality meat from Curtis the butcher. Wareham boasts its own independent cinema, a museum, art galleries and canoe and kayak hire on the quay. The Purbeck Sports centre with swimming pool and tennis courts is 5 mins from the bungalow, and there's a children's playground just across the road. Wareham station is in walking distance (15min walk) with trains between London and Weymouth every half hour.
Tucked away down a private lane, with a huge garden, Little Westport really feels far from the madding crowd, yet it's so close to everything you need.
Please note there are some uneven steps in the garden.
