About

Bovington and Wool sit where military training, rail links and conservation meet. Bovington Camp contains the Tank Museum, which documents armoured warfare from WWI Mark IV machines to a preserved Tiger I, and sits alongside Ministry of Defence training areas. Wool lies just north of the Isle of Purbeck and has a station on the London Waterloo–Weymouth line, giving direct rail access to the south coast. Near Wool, Monkey World operates a primate rescue centre that receives animals from international trade and private owners, drawing regular visitors and researchers to its rehabilitation programmes.

The Lulworth area occupies a short stretch of Dorset coast with recognisable landforms on the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. West and East Lulworth surround Lulworth Cove, a circular bay formed where bands of hard and soft rock meet a concordant shoreline, and a short walk along the cliff brings you to Durdle Door, a natural limestone arch. The South West Coast Path runs through the area and Lulworth Castle and estate sit inland from the cove, with public access managed around farming and conservation activities.
