Welcome to Purbeck, a stunning region located in Dorset, England. This picturesque area is part of the United Kingdom and Europe, offering breathtaking landscapes and rich history for all to explore. One of the most iconic landmarks is Durdle Door, a natural limestone arch that stands proudly on the Jurassic Coast. Its majestic presence attracts visitors from far and wide who come to witness its beauty firsthand. As you venture further along the coast, you'll encounter Old Harry Rocks, magnificent chalk stacks and cliffs between Swanage and Purbeck. These unique formations are not only a sight to behold but also hold great geological significance as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. In Swanage itself, remnants of history can be found at every turn. The timber remains of the Old Pier stand as a testament to times gone by when this bustling seaside town was a hub for trade and leisure activities. For those seeking tranquility away from the crowds, Chapmans Pool offers an idyllic escape within Isle of Purbeck. Surrounded by nature's wonders, this hidden gem provides solace amidst its serene surroundings. Purbeck's historical significance extends beyond its natural wonders. William Thompsons' valiant fight off Poole in 1695 serves as a reminder of past conflicts that have shaped this region's identity over time. Corfe Castle showcases another facet of Purbeck's heritage with its charming street scene. As you wander through these ancient streets lined with quaint buildings, it feels like stepping back in time to experience life as it once was. Capturing these moments is David Henderson Photography – an artist who skillfully immortalizes Purbeck's beauty through his lens. His work encapsulates both grand vistas like Durdle Door's limestone arch at sunrise or aerial views showcasing Old Harry Rocks' chalky formations near Handfast Point. Even during times of war such as World War I, Bovington Army Camp played its role in Purbeck's history.
