ALL ABOARD: A Journey Through Time!
Step back into a simpler era and join us for a Grand Heritage Day Out on Saturday, 30th May, 2026.
Forget the modern rush—we are bringing back the elegance of the traditional British excursion. From the rhythmic "chuff" of a steam engine to the salty breeze of the Jurassic Coast, this is a day for those who love nostalgia and stunning scenery.
The Adventure Includes:
Bus: Vintage Coach Travel departing Salisbury Coach Park at 8:00 AM sharp.
Waves: Jurassic Coast Cruise—a 1-hour voyage each way with live commentary and a licensed bar on board.
Ice Cream: Free Time in Swanage (10:30 AM – 12:30 PM) to explore the Victorian pier, boutique shops, and charming seafront cafés.
Train: Swanage Steam Railway—a nostalgic rail journey through the Purbeck countryside. Choose to hop off at the historic Corfe Castle ruins or explore the museums at Norden.
Anchor: The Return Journey—a 4:00 PM steam train back to the coast, followed by a final relaxing cruise back to Poole.

Adults: £57.50
