Swanage is a coastal town in the Isle of Purbeck, some 6 miles south of Poole and 25 miles east of Dorchester. Originally a small port and fishing village the town flourished in the Victorian era after the arrival of the railway and it first became a significant quarrying port and later a seaside resort. Tourism is an important part of the economy albeit seasonal and residents commute to Poole and Bournemouth for permanent employment. The town is the terminus of the heritage Swanage Railway.
