The award-winning Swanage Railway currently operates on the six miles of track between Swanage and Norden, through the beautiful Isle of Purbeck, passing the magnificent ruins of Corfe Castle.

The only way to go to the beach!! Hey this is the first time we have had children willing to go home after a day out at the seaside!  Park the car and catch the train at Norden, the beach is only a short stroll from the train station and its far more fun than sitting in a hot sweaty car to get there.  Staffed by enthusiasts who are happy to take the time to help you – if this was our local town’s park and ride I’d use it every week and it certainly brings the “novel” back into a trip to the beach.
