Description

Peveril Point is a picturesque cape on the east coast of the Isle of Purbeck peninsula in Dorset. Constructed of shale and limestone, this geological natural wonder offers breathtaking views of Swanage Bay and the rock formations of Old Harry Rocks.

The site has a fascinating history - during World War II it housed tunnels connecting artillery positions defending the entrance to Southampton Water. Today, it's a nature lover's paradise, where you can watch nesting seabirds and sometimes even dolphins and seals.

The trail from Peveril Point to Anvil Point Lighthouse is a moderately difficult 6-kilometer trail, perfect for an active day outdoors.

avatarKim Leonarda month agoA lovely place to walk out to, sit and contemplate Benches dotted around to use, a charming space away from the crowds. Good information board about wrecks and local history, very interesting to read all about the rescue missions and shipwrecks too.
avatarSarah Louisea year agoThis area of Swanage is so tranquil and peaceful. No crowds here. A slippery path down to the sea so take care. Beautiful views across to the Isle of Wight.
avatarJane Treloar2 years agoBit of an initial climb if you walk over the coast path ( but you can take the road for a flat walk ) plenty of seats amazing views, take a flask and sarnies for lovely day out
