About

The South East Purbeck ward encompasses a stretch of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, including the limestone promontory of St Alban's Head and the coastal hamlets of Worth Matravers and Kingston. The landscape is characterised by rugged cliffs, quarried stone, and traditional dry stone walls that partition the farmland. The area's geology is central to its history, with quarrying and stone carving being long-established local trades.

Inland, the terrain rises to the Purbeck chalk ridge, offering expansive views over the Isle of Purbeck and the English Channel. The rural settlements are small and scattered, connected by narrow lanes. The area includes the medieval village of Worth Matravers, which clusters around its ancient church and a classic village pond, a traditional feature of the local landscape.
