Town: On a peninsula in the Isle of Purbeck, close to Corfe Castle and Swanage, is a tiny village called Studland. The village marks the beginning of the 630-mile South West Coast Path, which runs from Minehead in Somerset all the way to Poole Harbour, where the chain ferry crosses the harbour's mouth. The National Trust, which manages Studland, is renowned for its long, sandy beaches, which offer watersports amenities and nearby riding stables on the shore during specific times of the year. There are a number of restaurants in the hamlet, such as The Bankes Arms or The Pig on the Beach next to South Beach, as well as the National Trust café on Knoll Beach. While there are frequent bus services from the town core and beaches that travel to Sandbanks and further on to Bournemouth, the Sandbanks chain ferry is the quickest method to visit the seaside resorts of Poole and Bournemouth.
