The Isle of Purbeck has a long history of quarrying rock, including the famous local Portland Limestone used by Christopher Wren in the construction of buildings like St Paul’s Cathedral. So the coastline outside of Swanage is dotted with historic quarries. Just up the road from the town, the Burngate Stone Carving Centre draws on this rich heritage. The centre provides facilities and expert tuition for traditional stone carving skills. They also offer a range of courses, regular exhibitions of sculpture, and a variety of family activities during the school holidays.
