Around and About Bradle Farmhouse
Our land here at Bradle Farm extends right up to Swyre Head which is the highest point in Purbeck offering panoramic views of the surrounding coast and countryside.
From there we run down to the World Heritage coast at Kimmeridge, which is the nearest beach consisting of shale, rock pools and long ledges. In the village we also have the Etches Collection, a renowned museum of Jurassic marine life.
There are many stunning walks from the farm along the coast and also inland along the Purbeck Hills.
The Medieval village and ruins of Corfe Castle is 3 miles away and provides the link for the Steam Railway to Swanage; a nostalgic 6 miles trip back in time.
The beautiful beach of Studland is 8 miles away with a vast expanse of sand which leads around to Sandbanks where a chain ferry links the Isle of Purbeck to Poole. From this point you can take a boat ride to Brownsea Island and Poole Harbour which is the second biggest natural harbour in the world.
Travelling westwards we have Monkey World (8 miles) and The Bovington Tank Museum (10 miles).
For eating out we have a family restaurant in Kimmeridge called Clavells a mile away and open every day and some evenings. There is also the New Inn in Church Knowle also a mile away and there are many other good eating places in Corfe Castle and Wareham.

The land continues north up to the Purbeck Hills which runs through to Swanage, with the whole area now being recognized as a World Heritage Site.

Breakfast was delicious and plenty of it, full of the produce directly from the farm. Homemade conserves too, which were absolutely yummy. One of the best, if not the best, B&Bs we have ever had the pleasure of staying in. Throughly recommend. Thank you Gillian for a wonderful couple of days in your amazing place xx”
W. Ledgerwood - Nov 2024 “We had a wonderful Halloween stay at Bradle Farmhouse, enjoying walks to Corfe Castle, looking for fossils at Kimmeridge Bay, and enjoying the many cafes and restaurants the area has to offer. Bradle Farmhouse is so welcoming; you are invited to explore the farm, meet the people living and working there, and see the animals.Our daughter enjoyed meeting the calves!
Gillian helped us when we flooded our walking boots and provided a wonderful breakfast and haven of a bedroom. We will return!”
