- Swanage - Why is Swanage such a good place to teach outdoor education?
Situated on Dorset’s Isle of Purbeck, Swanage is a superb location for outdoor learning in many forms. The chalk and limestone coastline is famous for its starring role in many geography textbooks, whilst the cliffs themselves are ideal for climbers of all abilities.
Dorset’s southern coastline is also England’s only Natural World Heritage Site featuring the longest known continuous fossil record in the world, as well as having a wealth of current day flora and fauna.
Situated in a sandy bay and nestled between chalk downland and a limestone plateau, Swanage can offer a diverse range of natural and human environments in a small area.
Swanage also enjoys a relatively mild climate making it appeal to groups over an extended season.
What about actually living there? Swanage has a great deal to offer outside of work. Living in the town it is possible to participate in a wide variety of activities including walking, climbing, sailing and sea rowing. There are also plenty of opportunities to eat out, socialise and become involved with community activities. Throughout the year Swanage plays host to a number of popular events such as the Swanage Folk Festival, a Jazz Festival, Carnival and Regatta Week, the Purbeck Film Festival and even a Pumpkin Festival which all helps to give the town a vibrant feeling.
