Quirky Wareham and the Isle of Purbeck
Heather Scharnhorst
The Isle of Purbeck, a peninsula in Dorset, is a distinctive landscape. Surrounded by three sides on the sea it is separated from the rest of Dorset by heaths and marshes. The ancient town of Wareham on the edge of Purbeck was an important Saxon settlement, still with its earth ramparts from that era.
The ruined Corfe Castle is a famous Purbeck landmark but the area has many more surprising places and stories, from the fictitious town of Muddlecombe and its Men to the giant Agglestone Rock on a heath near Studland, the Tilly Whim Caves on the Jurassic Coast and much, much more. Quirky Wareham and the Isle of Purbeck celebrates the unusual and often strange history of Wareham and Purbeck and its characters over the years. This fascinating insight into Wareham and Purbeck will be of interest to all those who want to know more about the area’s quirky history.
