The Ship Inn is situated in a prime position on Swanage high street and has views overlooking Swanage Bay. Swanage is approximately 6 miles south of Poole and 25 miles east of Dorchester, and has a population of approximately 9,600. The town is located at the eastern end of the Isle of Purbeck and is a popular tourist destination with award-winning sandy beaches. It is located at the beginning of the World Heritage Jurassic coastline which is very popular with walkers and tourists.
