Take a step back in time with a nostalgic ride on a historic steam locomotive, taking in the wonderful countryside views around the area.

 

Studland Beach

An area of outstanding natural beauty, Studland bay, which is 4 miles long is perfect for taking a dip in the sea with lovely views of Old Harry & The Isle of Wight.  

 

Sea Fishing – Mackerel

Hire a boat for a day or take a fishing trip and see if you can catch some mackerel. The bay is renowned for mackerel fishing due to being sheltered from the limestone cliffs. This is the inspiration behind our Milk & Dark chocolate maceral sold online and in our chocolate houses.
