KINGSTON

Peaceful Village and Perfect Views

Kingston is situated about two miles south of Corfe Castle and five miles west of Swanage. The village of Kingston is situated on a hill near Swyre Head, the highest point of the Purbeck Hills, it offers stunning views stretching from Corfe Castle to Swanage.

Kingstone is a very popular location for walkers, it is surrounded by woods and many very popular walking trails pass through the pretty village. It’s in a very central location close to many other villages such as Worth Matravers, Langton Matravers and Corfe Castle.

The ‘Commoners Ways’ starts at Kingston travelling south to Corfe Castle and back again. Another walking route is the Purbeck Way, of which part travels from Corfe Castle, past Kingston and ends at Chapman’s Pool just outside Worth Matravers village.

THINGS TO DO

Chapmans Pool

Chapmans Pool

Chapmans Pool is one of the lesser known and prettiest beaches, it is a scramble down into the cove where there is a rocky beach, the perfect spot to rest for the climb back up! The closest parking place is Renscombe car park (1 mile). It is lacking the amenities.

Houns Tout

Houns Tout

Houns Tout takes its name from the family name Houn which dates from Norman times, and Tout which means lookout post, the name therefore literally means the lookout post of Houn. The walk out to it is wonderful, a mile and a half of flat, easy, grassy footpath with views down into the valley.

Swyre Head

Swyre Head

Swyre Head is the highest point of the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, on the south coast of England. Boasting stunning views, great walks and even a Bronze age round barrow
