Monkey World

Set amongst the woodland of Dorset lays 65 acres of sanctuary for over 250 primates. Monkey World Dorset was set up in 1987 by Jim Cronin to provide abused Spanish beach chimps with a permanent, stable home.

Jurassic Coast

The layers of sedimentary rock along the Jurassic Coast can be read like a book. They reveal the history of Earth across 185 million years and form a near complete record of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.

Tank Museum

Our exhibitions tell the story of armoured warfare from World War One to the present day. As you explore the Museum's six large halls you will come face to face with vehicles that have seen action in all the major wars.

Corfe Castle

Corfe Castle is a fortification standing above the village of the same name on the Isle of Purbeck in the English county of Dorset. Built by William the Conqueror, the castle dates to the 11th century and commands a gap in the Purbeck Hills on the route between Wareham and Swanage.
