Kingston is a pretty village of stone-built, former estate workers’ cottages with a popular family pub and an impressive church sometimes referred to as the ‘cathedral of the Purbecks’. Local eggs and honey can be bought in the village; otherwise the nearest shops are in the village of Corfe Castle. The famous Purbeck pub, The Scott Arms, where meals are served all day in the summer, is barely 50 yards away from the cottage for those who like to take a break from cooking. The cottage is perfectly placed for a family beach holiday, with the traditional seaside resort of Swanage, complete with Punch & Judy shows on the sandy beach, a 10 minute drive away. Well-known Studland beach (National Trust) with its three miles of sand and dunes is a 15 minutes’ drive from the cottage. The unusual bay at Kimmeridge with its fossils and underwater Marine Wildlife Reserve can also be reached within quarter of an hour by car, whilst, nearer to home, the cove of Chapman’s Pool is only half an hour’s walk from No. 7. Kingston is surrounded by outstanding walking country, both inland and on the coastal path. It is a nature-lover’s paradise, with deer, hares, owls and other wildlife easily spotted. Rare species of reptiles and birds thrive on the nearby heathlands and the RSPB reserve at Arne is a ten minutes’ drive. The spectacular coastline to the south of the cottage has recently been designated a World Heritage Site for its notable geographical features.
