Step back into the Victorian era with a gentle, engaging stroll along Swanage Pier. Follow in the footsteps of those who first enjoyed this iconic seaside landmark and experience the timeless pleasure of walking its historic wooden boards.
As you breathe in the fresh sea air and take in the sweeping coastal views, one of our Volunteers will bring the Pier’s story to life — from its early construction and industrial beginnings to the people, events and traditions that shaped it into the much loved attraction it is today.
Tours begin at the Gatehouse and normal pier admission applies.
Please note: tours are weather dependent.
