Langton Matravers

Before tourism, the main industry around Swanage was quarrying the famous Purbeck stone that has been used in countless churches, cathedrals and fine houses around the country. The Purbeck Stone Museum at Langton Matravers (10–noon, 2–4, not Sundays) tells the story of Purbeck Marble, a handsome and durable material which was already being cut and polished back in Roman times. This sizeable village is also home to Putlake Adventure Farm where visitors are encouraged to make contact with a variety of friendly animals, bottle feed the lambs, or meet the alpacas. There are pony and trailer rides, picnic and play areas, a farm trail, gift shop and tea room.
