Hi and thanks for a great season to everyone who camped this summer.
Sorry but we have dismantled the goal posts and the cows are grazing round the edges so we will not be open for the Folk Festival next weekend. The caravan site remains open until 31st October.
We have a number of items of Lost Property so if you think you've lost something please send us an email.
Signing out for 2010 -hope to see you all next Whitsun.

Waterloo to Swanage

2009-05-03T09:35:00.000-07:00

Julian Sawyer took this photo from the fields of Downshay. "The first steam passenger train form Waterloo to Swanage in over 40 years. For the steam buffs among you, this was a Battle of Britain class 34067 'Tangmere'. She looked quite impressive snaking her way through the valley on the Swanage Railway". It would be great to get the train from Purbeck to London, See more of his great photos from Dorset on Flickr.
