Langton House, Dorset, England

Walks around Langton House

Less than ten miles south west of Bournemouth lies the Isle of Purbeck – a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the source of the fine grey stone and unique dark green marble that bear its name. Rising steeply, in places to over 600 feet, within a mile of the sea, the Purbeck Hills create a dramatic landscape dominated by the striking ruins of Corfe Castle.

Here you will find Langton House, a former school now restored and converted into comfortable apartments and cottages. It is located on the edge of the Purbeck village of Langton Matravers, overlooking the English Channel on the slopes above Swanage, with distant views of the Needles and the Isle of Wight.
